* $50,000 of the CIIP contribution is invested in a government-approved fund and is redeemable after 5 years.
Understanding every component of your investment in Vanuatu citizenship.
The primary cost is a non-refundable contribution to the Vanuatu government's development fund (DSP) or a partially redeemable capital investment (CIIP). This forms the bulk of your total investment and is paid directly to the government.
Every applicant aged 16 and above undergoes comprehensive international background checks conducted by third-party agencies. This ensures the integrity of the programme and is a mandatory government-imposed fee.
Covers government processing fees, passport printing, document authentication, courier delivery, and administrative charges. This fee applies to each applicant included in the application.
Biometric data (fingerprints and photograph) can be collected at the authorised centre in Dubai, eliminating the need to travel to Vanuatu. This is a significant convenience for UAE-based applicants.
Our service fee covers end-to-end assistance including eligibility assessment, document preparation, application submission, government liaison, and passport delivery. Contact us for a personalised quote based on your family size.
25% upfront upon signing the engagement agreement to begin your application. The remaining 75% is due upon approval — meaning you only pay the balance once your citizenship is confirmed. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
The Development Support Programme is the most popular choice among our Dubai clients. Starting at $130,000 for a single applicant, it offers the lowest entry point and the fastest processing time — typically 30 to 60 days from submission to passport.
The DSP is ideal if you want a straightforward, cost-effective path to a second passport without a redeemable investment component. The entire contribution is a one-time payment with no ongoing obligations.
The Capital Investment Immigration Plan starts at $165,000 but includes a $50,000 component that is invested in a government-approved fund. This amount is fully redeemable after 5 years, effectively reducing your net cost.
For families of 4 or more, the CIIP can offer better value because the base contribution covers up to 4 family members at the same rate. If you have a larger family and a longer time horizon, the CIIP may be the smarter financial choice.
