Breaking! The government of Vanuatu has announced new regulations, effective September 1, 2024, requiring foreign applicants for Vanuatu passports to personally enter Vanuatu to collect fingerprint biometric information. The old passport system will no longer be in use.
Located in the southwestern Pacific, Vanuatu is renowned for its beautiful natural scenery and is often referred to as the "back garden of Australians and New Zealanders." It has been recognized as one of the "happiest countries in the world." Vanuatu boasts rich tourism resources, featuring beautiful beaches and diving spots favored by diving enthusiasts worldwide, and has appeared multiple times in popular dramas, gaining much popularity. In recent years, Vanuatu has attracted an increasing number of high-net-worth individuals. The Vanuatu passport is known for its fast approval speed, simplicity, and low cost, making it one of the easiest and most accessible investment citizenship programs.
However, with the tightening of global immigration policies over the past two years, Vanuatu's immigration policy has also changed rapidly. Starting September 1, foreign applicants for Vanuatu passports will be required to personally enter Vanuatu to collect fingerprint biometric information. Previously, applicants could apply for a passport without having to travel to Vanuatu.
With less than a month until the new regulations take effect, it remains uncertain whether this requirement applies to citizenship applications submitted after September 1 or to those approved after that date, pending the release of official documents. WorldWay Immigration will keep a close watch and share any new information promptly.
