The wheels of history turn, and the script of society moves forward. Similarly, the immigration history of various countries is constantly being updated and optimized. As a new favorite in the immigration world, Vanuatu is deeply welcomed by investors. Do you know the history of immigration in Vanuatu? Do you know what immigration acts exist? Do you know the differences between them? Let us explore this together.
Looking back at the history of immigration in Vanuatu, we can clearly see the evolution and development process of Vanuatu's immigration acts, which can be roughly divided into three stages.
Stage 1: Honorary Citizenship Stage
In March 2015, Vanuatu unfortunately suffered from a hurricane, causing significant economic losses. To facilitate rapid post-disaster reconstruction, the Vanuatu government launched the Vanuatu Economic Rehabilitation Program in May of the same year, in accordance with Article 20 of the Citizenship Act [CAP 112]. The program stipulated that if overseas individuals could promote and improve the economic development of Vanuatu and make contributions to the country and its people, the Prime Minister of Vanuatu could recommend such individuals as honorary citizens of Vanuatu under the regulation, and upon approval by the President of Vanuatu, they could be formally granted honorary citizenship.
Stage 2: Contribution Program Stage
In December 2016, the Vanuatu government formally legislated and passed the Citizenship Act [CAP 112] Part 13, the "Citizenship Regulation (Contribution Program) Order No. 220 of 2016." It launched the "Vanuatu Contribution Program" aimed at Chinese investors, with the goal of raising funds through the contribution program and attracting high-quality new immigrants to promote Vanuatu's economic development.
Stage 3: Development Support Program Stage
In December 2016, the Vanuatu government formally legislated and passed the Citizenship Act [CAP 112] Part 13, the "Citizenship Regulation (Development Support Program) Order No. 215 of 2016," launching a development program for global investors to raise funds to support infrastructure construction and promote Vanuatu's economic development. In 2019, the Vanuatu government passed and enacted the Citizenship (Amendment) Act No. 34 of 2018 and the Citizenship Regulation (Development Support Program) Order No. 33 of 2019. The new act stipulates that Vanuatu citizenship can be obtained through the development program, with a unified global price.
With the launch of the new act, Chinese investors can now save approximately 20,000 USD by investing in the Vanuatu Development Support Program, which is open to global investors, and enjoy the same Vanuatu citizenship rights. This is great news for all investors.
