This calculation is preliminary. Contribution amounts follow the official table, checked against vancitizenship.gov.vu. The share is returned after 5 years under the fund's documents.
Benefits
Pick what matters to you. We will show what the programme gives in your situation.
85 destinations without a visa in advance, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. With Greek residence 119 destinations are open, and 158 together with a Russian passport. Entry conditions vary by country.
Spouse, children, adult children and parents in one application. Citizenship is for life and passes to children.
With a Vanuatu passport you can apply for a Greek residence permit. There is no visa-free access to Europe, but there is a clear route.
Vanuatu allows dual citizenship. You do not need to live on the islands, before or after.
How to apply
We look at your situation the way Vanuatu will later: sanctions, court records, source of funds. Free, before any contract.
You send scans and certificates. We prepare the forms, English CV, translations and explanations.
Filed once the fee is paid. The main applicant goes through the FIU check.
It meets twice a month. The approval letter arrives about a week after the meeting.
The contribution follows approval. The oath is taken by video at a time that suits you.
In person, each participant, 30-60 minutes per person. Moscow, St Petersburg or an officer visiting you.
Printed in Port Vila and couriered to us. We check each one for typos and send them to you.
We do not give names: confidentiality comes first.
6 people, one application
Fund, whole family on one applicationParents and four children. They gathered the documents for filing in two days and had no plans to relocate or fly anywhere. Approval came on 1 October 2026.

from $130 000
A non-refundable contribution to the state. Vanuatu sets the amount and it is the same for everyone.
Best for a single applicant
from $157 000
One amount for a family of up to four. $50 000 of it is a share in the fund, which the fund buys back after 5 years under its own documents.
Best for families of three or more
The Commission makes the decision, so nobody can guarantee approval. We check the family in advance against the same databases Vanuatu uses, and we take on complex cases, including after refusals in other programmes: we work out the reason and resolve questions before filing.
The due diligence fee is not returned: it pays for the check itself. The rest is returned under the programme rules and the contract. That is why we check the family in advance and resolve questions before filing.
Yes. It is a state programme under the Vanuatu citizenship law. The country's authorities check every application and the immigration service issues the passport.
In the first half of 2026 the programme brought Vanuatu about 39% of its budget revenue. In 2025 parliament tightened oversight rather than closing it. Citizenship already granted is for life and passes to children.
The state sets the contribution and it is the same for everyone. Compare line by line: how many people, which programme, what the amount includes, who completes the forms, where biometrics happen.
No. The oath is taken online by video. Biometrics are in Moscow, St Petersburg, or with an officer visiting your home, office or hotel.

For one person, $130 000 under the contribution programme plus a $5 000 due diligence fee. For a family of up to four, the fund at $157 000 plus an $8 000 fee, with $50 000 of it returned after 5 years. The calculator shows the exact amount for your family.
For one person, the contribution programme. A couple should decide whether they are ready to leave $50 000 in the fund for 5 years. For a family of three to five the fund is cheaper from the start, for six to eight people it is better once the share is returned, and for a larger family the contribution programme wins.
On top of the contribution and fee: translations and certification, Vanuatu citizen documents, biometrics and passport, bank charges. The quote shows each as a separate line. There are no other payments.
Usually 2 months, 3 at most. A holiday in the middle of the process and a slow transfer make it longer, so we check the payment route before the contract and gather documents and signatures before you leave.
The whole family: spouse, children, adult children including those over 25, and parents. We arrange the terms individually and show the amount in the quote.
Yes, a child aged 18-25 can join if studying full-time, without their own income and not married. We need a certificate of study and proof of dependence.
Proof is mandatory for every application. Tell us where your main funds come from, and we will suggest which documents suit you.
85 destinations: 49 visa-free, 7 with an electronic authorisation, 29 with a visa on arrival, including Hong Kong and Singapore. You can check your country on the Benefits page. With Greek residence 119 destinations are open, and 158 together with a Russian passport. Entry conditions vary by country.
We will send a quote for both programmes and a document list for each person. No obligation.
