Vanuatu Immigration Project
- Vanuatu passport
- The Vanuatu passport is currently the fastest and lowest-cost naturalization passport project issued internationally. The main functions are as follows:
- Free access around the world
- More than 100 countries are visa-free (EU countries suspend visa exemption, the EU will reconsider in August 2024; the UK suspends visa exemption), business travel and leisure can go.
- It is equivalent to a "global pass".
- Children's education planning
- Admission to foreign international schools in China, admission to famous universities in China with an international student status curve, convenient application for scarce quotas in European and American universities, and receiving high-level basic education in Australia in Vanuatu.
- It is equivalent to an "educational VIP card" that covers everything from primary school to university.
- Asset tax planning:
- Set up Vanuatu offshore companies to realize free foreign exchange allocation and rapid listing; legally open overseas corporate accounts and personal accounts, and store assets overseas in the form of hard currency; take advantage of tax havens to save taxes reasonably.
- It is equivalent to an "asset umbrella" for high-net-worth people.
- Travel, vacation and leisure:
- Vanuatu is an island country with rich tourism resources and can be used as a preferred place for vacation abroad.
- Obtaining a passport of the State of China is equivalent to a "lifetime membership card" for high-quality outbound travel.
- Backup green channel:
- Green exit channel under special circumstances.
- For high-net-worth people, in the face of a complex economic environment, it is necessary for the middle class and high-net-worth people to prepare for the future and select a second home in special circumstances in advance.
- The passport of the country of China can become a "green channel access control card".
- Vanuatu officials are under pressure from the European Union and the United Kingdom, and reforms are imperative.
- In March 2022, the European Union suspended the visa-free passport of Vanuatu and will be reconsidered in August 2024.
- In July 2023, the United Kingdom suspended the visa-free use of Vanuatu passports, and the resumption time was not specified.
- According to the tough requirements of the European Union and the United Kingdom in July 2023 (not only Vanuatu is under great pressure, the five Caribbean countries have also been "rectified" by Europe and the United Kingdom. St. Kitts passports have been announced to double their prices on August 1), the Vanuatu government is expected to take reform measures for investment in naturalization passports in the near future:
- The amount of donation jumped from the current $80,000 to more than $200,000 (the European Union explicitly requires that it cannot be less than $200,000);
- Applicants must log in to Vanuatu for an interview and get a passport;
The requirements for background investigation and material notarization are stricter. Those who are good at planning and long-term should seize the window period to be small and big. At present, the reform has not been announced yet, and it is still in the time window. As the lowest-cost and fastest-approved bill passport, the Vanuatu passport still has its unique advantages for specific demand groups. The recent reform situation is unexpected. It may wake up one night and announce an increase from $80,000 to $200,000+.
