  During the global pandemic, Vanuatu, located in the South Pacific, has stood out! As one of the most attractive countries in the Caribbean, Vanuatu has been favored by investors from regions such as China, the United States, South Africa, and European countries since the launch of its investment citizenship program!


  Previously, according to the Vanuatu Daily Post, the newly appointed chairman of the Vanuatu Citizenship Commission, Ronald Warsal, confirmed that from January 2020 to now, the Vanuatu investment citizenship program has generated over 6 billion Vatu in revenue, and the revenue in 2020 continues to grow! So, why is the Vanuatu investment citizenship program able to attract so many investors? What hidden secrets lie behind it? Below, we will outline the five major attractions of the Vanuatu investment citizenship program!


  1

    Quick acquisition of citizenship, overall processing time can be as fast as 24 days

  The Vanuatu investment citizenship program has been continuously adjusted and improved, with its review process and document submission requirements being optimized. The background checks for the program are very lenient! Among Caribbean countries, Vanuatu's development program investment citizenship project has a relatively short processing time and fast approval speed, with passports expected to be issued within 6-8 weeks, making the overall processing time as fast as 24 days, which is a significant advantage, especially suitable for applicants eager to obtain citizenship quickly.


  2

    Visa-free access to Schengen countries, easy travel to 26 European countries

  As a member of the Commonwealth, Vanuatu is one of the few countries that maintains a visa-free policy with 26 Schengen countries, making its passport comparable to European passports. Among European countries and regions, including the United Kingdom for 6 months, France, Germany, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, etc., all have a visa-free period of 3 months. Of course, in addition to Europe, there are also visa-free countries in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania, with Vanuatu having visa-free access to nearly 130 countries and regions!


  3

    No fingerprinting required, no immigration monitoring, no need to bring the whole family for the oath

  Whether applicants are before or after obtaining citizenship, they are not required to provide fingerprints or reside in the country, and applicants can take the oath at Vanuatu's consulate abroad or in the country/region where they reside, such as Hong Kong or Guangzhou. If a family is applying, only the couple needs to take the oath, and the whole family does not need to be present. During the pandemic, video oaths can also be conducted, allowing for a completely contactless process.


  4

    Favorable tax system, a great place for business, and significant development opportunities

  Vanuatu has a high degree of market openness and convenience, with a sound legal system. The government encourages foreign investment, and the investment environment is continuously improving, having been rated as one of the easiest countries in the world to do business! Vanuatu has a favorable tax system, with no personal income tax, corporate tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax. According to the World Bank's global corporate tax burden report, Vanuatu's tax rate is only 8.5%! Therefore, investing and doing business locally in Vanuatu is very advantageous! In recent years, thanks to its favorable tax system and booming tourism industry, Vanuatu has been continuously attracting international capital, offering vast development prospects and significant investment opportunities!


  5

    A pristine land with zero infections, an ideal choice for health and identity planning

  As a well-known tourist destination, Vanuatu is close to Australia and New Zealand, with beautiful natural scenery and a pleasant climate. It has been rated by the British New Economic Foundation as "the happiest country in the world," making it an ideal place for investment, living, and retirement! According to data released by the World Health Organization (WHO), Vanuatu is currently one of the few countries with zero infections among the 193 member states of the United Nations! According to the Vanuatu Ministry of Health, there have been no confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in Vanuatu to date! The launch of the Vanuatu development program investment citizenship project provides excellent opportunities for immigrant investors in health and identity planning.
