Recently, the Vanuatu Citizenship Office issued an official announcement: effective August 1, 2026, Vanuatu Immigration will increase its fees.
If you are considering secondary citizenship, global asset allocation, tax optimization, international travel, or family education planning, you are currently in an important window of opportunity to lock in the current policy conditions.
Key dates are clear; seize the current policy window
01. Price increase date: August 1, 2026
• Deadline for current policy eligibility: Complete application submission and payment of processing fees by July 31, 2026 (inclusive)
In other words, applications accepted before the deadline can still be processed under the current policy conditions; once the new policy phase begins on August 1, the overall project costs will rise.
It is important to note that the actual application process typically includes multiple stages such as document preparation, notarization and authentication, background checks, institutional review, and formal submission. Therefore, the time available to prepare and advance an application is usually earlier than the policy deadline.
We recommend that applicants complete their background checks and submission arrangements by mid-July at the latest to increase the certainty of completing their application under the current policy.
02. Planning ahead means better value
The current investment threshold for Vanuatu citizenship starts at USD 130,000 (via donation). According to industry forecasts, the donation amount will increase by approximately USD 20,000 after the adjustment. For interested families, completing planning and submission in advance is equivalent to saving over a hundred thousand RMB in real terms!
03. Why does Vanuatu citizenship
continue to attract high-net-worth families?
• Fast approval speed: Citizenship certificates and passports are expected to be issued within 6-8 weeks
