How I acquired Vanuatu citizenship in 4 weeks and how you can too

In today’s article, we describe from personal experience how to acquire Vanuatu citizenship by investment in just 4 weeks through a simple and remote process. This option stands out for its low costs, simple processing, ability to pay in crypto and Vanuatu’s independence from other jurisdictions.

It’s done, Christoph, founder of denationalize.me, has a Vanuatu passport and has taken another step forward in his personal Flag Theory. For us at denationalize.me, freedom from the State does not mean having no nationality but being able to choose between several.

Why did the founder of denationalize.me, Christoph Heuermann, not raise this flag until 10 years after the creation of the project? The main reason is not financial considerations, but the simple fact that Germany did not allow multiple citizenship until recently, or at least not so easily. It was limited to the luck of being born in a certain country, to naturalization in other EU countries or to the arbitrariness of the authorities in the case of the so-called ”maintenance authorization”, which was practically impossible to obtain when it came to acquiring of citizenship through donations or investments (what is commonly called the “buying citizenship”).

Given that, with the exception of Malta and Romania, EU citizenship can no longer be officially purchased, the possibilities were very limited and the costs very high (a Maltese passport costs almost a million euros, including all fees and investments). And acquiring another EU citizenship offers Germans few real advantages in the sense of the Flag Theory. Ironically, a significantly inferior passport (with less freedom of movement in general) may allow greater freedom of travel and movement when combined with a European passport such as the German one.

As of June 27, 2024, it is legally possible to have a second (or even third, fourth, etc.) nationality as a German citizen.

So what does all this mean to Christoph? In his own words:

“Now I have even less reason to keep quiet. Until now, I was still ultimately dependent on one country, Germany, because in the worst case they could take away my passport. From now on, thanks to my second passport, this danger has disappeared for me. Although the German passport is still very practical because of the freedom of movement it offers me, I would be willing to give it up in the event of totalitarian restrictions on freedom associated to citizenship (military service, taxation based on nationality, etc.). After all, my identity as a human being does not depend on a piece of paper.”

Although what we are proposing is legal tax optimization, some authorities and politicians do not like at all how we talk about states and how we liberate citizens through our services. That is why it is important to obtain a nationality as soon as possible in order to continue acting freely in the long run. Because once you have an entry on your criminal record for having offended a politician or ruler (even if justifiably), there are many nationalities and residence permits that would suddenly be out of reach. From that moment on, you could still live like a perpetual traveler (at least as long as they don’t cancel your passport), but your options would be much more limited. Blessed are those who take precautions in time.

As always, at denationalize.me we don’t just stick to theory, we also put it into practice. We value our independence and neutrality with respect to certain jurisdictions and we don’t marry ourselves to any solution. We like to sell what we use, we believe in doing what we talk about, in having skin in the game, as Nassim Taleb understands it, in not recommending others to do what we would not be willing to do ourselves.

That’s why we are the first to put our money into the investment opportunities we are talking about, to set up and use Limited Liability Companies in the United States, to leave our country of origin and acquire residences abroad, and now also to acquire citizenship through investment. In today’s article, we are going to tell you with complete transparency why Vanuatu citizenship is so interesting and how you can acquire it.

Because we have never understood how anyone can allow themselves to be advised by consultants or accountants who think that paying taxes is a good thing and who tell you that they wish they had your problems and paid as much tax.

Let’s start at the beginning: what makes Vanuatu citizenship special?

As you read this article, this question will have crossed your mind, especially as Vanuatu citizenship has a bad reputation in the public mind. Christoph’s reasons for acquiring this citizenship are very personal and may not apply to you. However, if the Vanuatu citizenship is seen as a second passport rather than a complete replacement for his original citizenship (German), everything becomes more understandable.

The following factors played a key role in Christoph’s decision. Let us take a closer look at each of them:

• Relatively easy bureaucratic procedures. Everything can be done remotely.
• Relatively low cost compared to the expected benefits.
• Easy transfer of money (in cryptocurrency).
• Really significant advantages in terms of freedom of movement (possibility to travel to Russia, etc.).
• Unlike the Caribbean, Vanuatu does not cooperate with Western countries.
• It is a safe and attractive place to live and travel to that does not get boring quickly.
• Interest in the investment required and in the country itself.

Relatively simple processing – Everything remote

No originals or apostilles are required to obtain Vanuatu citizenship. The whole process is digital with documents that are simply certified. This makes it easy to manage even for frequent travelers without a clear address, who would have problems with other CBI programs. After all, if you have to send the original passport, you may not be able to travel in the meantime. Most importantly, you will have to deal with the mail and hope that the documents arrive safely. Getting apostilles for documents can also be a tedious and lengthy process, which is really excessive.

Vanuatu is committed to easy certification of all digital documents. You don’t need to send anything by mail; you can submit all documents by email or courier. A simple scan with a stamp will suffice. Any government agency can certify, but so can a notary public. This includes all kinds of online notary services, which makes certification very easy. Moreover, the certification does not necessarily have to be done in the country where the documents were issued.

In short, it saves a lot of time. Documents that are not in English must be translated into English, but in practice there are relatively few of these. With the right online provider, you can have a certified translation in a matter of hours. In the case of Germany, for example, many documents already have an English translation.

Specifically, the Vanuatu CBI process is divided into two distinct phases, which can also be done together to save time. As different documents need to be certified for both phases, it is advisable to do it in one go.

Phase 1 is the pre-approval by the Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit. This FIU approval takes a maximum of 96 hours from submission and gives a clear answer as to whether citizenship can be obtained or not. Those who receive authorization at this stage generally have 100% certainty of obtaining citizenship, provided they can provide the necessary documents for stage 2. Below, we examine the documents for stage 1 in more detail:

• Certified copy of passport: the German passport is already in several languages, including English, and does not need to be translated separately. Of course, if you have never applied for a passport before, you will need one.

• Another form of certified ID: this can be an identity card or a driver’s license. An international driver’s license would also work.

• Legalized birth certificate: In this case, it is recommended to request an international birth certificate from the civil registry office. There are also online services that take care of this. The extract is available in several languages, including English. A regular birth certificate will also do, but it will need to be translated.

• Legalized marriage/divorce certificate, if applicable: similar to the birth certificate, if applicable. Unmarried applicants do not need this, of course.

• Legalized certificate of lack of a criminal record from the country of origin: this can be a long process because sometimes the mail from the Federal Office of Justice does not reach its destination. So, after applying remotely and waiting more than 3 months, Christoph went to the Federal Office of Justice in Bonn in person, where the receptionist gave him the certificate of criminal record in 10 minutes for 13 euros. This is a highly recommended procedure for Germans living abroad who are visiting Germany, as applying for a certificate of lack of a criminal record from a distance is a hassle.
• By the way, the simple certificate of lack of a criminal record without apostille is sufficient in this case, and it already exists in several languages since it was issued.

• Certificate of lack of a criminal record legalized by the country of residence: if the country of residence is different, that is, if you have given an address on the application forms that does not correspond to your nationality  and the corresponding proof of residence for level 2 is presented, a certificate of lack of a criminal record must also be obtained from this other country. The difficulty depends largely on the country. Christoph obtained a criminal record certificate from Paraguay in a few days, which only needed to be translated into English. Our partners in Paraguay can help you if you have a cédula.

• Curriculum vitae: a CV in English that lists your work experience, education and life to date in chronological order. This is just a formality, but it should give a complete picture together with the other documents.

• Nomination form, part 1: the application itself, a one-page A4 form on which you will provide the typical personal information and which must be signed. It refers to the other documents that must be submitted, such as identity card, criminal record certificate, and etc.

Phase 1 is used to check whether the candidate has a criminal record or other reasons for rejection. In addition to the required documents, international databases such as Interpol are checked to ensure that the candidate is clean. Initiation of phase 1 is linked to the payment of the due diligence fee of 5,500 USD. This fee covers up to 4 people. Whether you are a single person or a couple with children, the fee is only 5,500 USD. If they ask you for more money, it is possible that the agency you are dealing with is not serious.

Generally, after 96 hours you will receive a confirmation or a rejection and you can move on to Phase 2 of the program. Phase 2 consists of submitting additional documents that will determine whether your application is approved. In addition, the donation and, if applicable, the investment must be remitted in order for naturalization to take place and for a passport to be issued.

For phase 2, the following documents must be submitted:

• Certificate of self-declared assets with a minimum of 250,000 US dollars in assets: in theory, there is a minimum amount of assets required to obtain Vanuatu citizenship. However, it is not necessary for these assets to be externally verified, only self-declared. Assets can include shares in companies, real estate, cryptocurrencies and any other type of asset. If you have the money to pay for Vanuatu citizenship, you will certainly be able to make the declaration of assets, which is almost double. A text document with the relevant information about your assets is sufficient. The certification does not actually have to verify any of the information provided. We can provide templates.

• Employee declaration or self-employment declaration: if you are an employee, your company must certify it. If you are self-employed, you will need to sign a model form containing information about their company, its purpose, and how long have been self-employed. Models are available here.

• Proof of residence: it must be consistent with the criminal record certificates (i.e. in Christoph’s case, it had to be from Paraguay). In addition to the classic utility bill, rental contracts, tax certificates or even bank statements with the address are valid. Even perpetual travelers should be able to provide one of these documents. In this case, notarization is not required.

• Medical certificate: a standard form that must be filled out and signed by the doctor of your choice. If medical certificates have been issued for other purposes within the last 12 months, they may also be accepted.

• 3. Personal references: they don’t have to be letters from lawyers or similar. It is enough to provide the addresses, emails and telephone numbers of three people who know the applicant in a text document. It is very rare that these people are contacted, but it cannot be ruled out. Other than being a personal acquaintance, there are no other requirements.

• Certified bank reference and certified bank statements from the last 6 months: a bank reference is a confirmation from a bank that you have had an account there for X years. Some online banks, such as Wise, allow you to download these directly. You will also need certified bank statements for the last 6 months. The balance of the account is not important. With the right planning, this can be very easily done through a private Wise account, as you can also download the stamped bank statements directly. Of course, other neobanks or traditional banks can provide this service if requested.

• Nomination form, part 2: just two more pages of application. It refers to the balance sheet, birth certificate and medical certificate. It must be signed in the presence of an external witness (whoever is present).

The forms to be filled out by family members are all very similar. There is one form for the spouse, another for the children and another for other dependents, such as parents or unmarried siblings. Everyone, except the children, must obtain a criminal record certificate from their country of origin and any other country where they have lived for at least one year in the last 10 years. In addition, everyone, including the children, must present a medical certificate and a birth certificate. References and a balance sheet, on the other hand, are only required for the primary applicant.

Phase 2 applications are decided at committee meetings held twice a month. It is possible to obtain an “approval in principle” as long as the FIU clearance and the due diligence fee have been submitted. In this way, the naturalization process can be carried out directly once the phase 2 documents have been submitted and the donation or investment has been made. The next section of this article explains this in more detail. There is no need to wait for the committee to meet again. The naturalization process itself consists of a brief online interview with the Commissioner of Oaths, who will swear you in to the Vanuatu Constitution and allows you to obtain a passport, which will be delivered by courier anywhere in the world.

In addition to the documents and forms mentioned above, investment statements must be submitted if this route is chosen. In principle, proof of assets must accompany the remittance, but a self-declaration is sufficient. Finally, a passport application form with signature, photo and so on is required to obtain the passport. But these are all relatively simple procedures. Unlike the CBI programs in the Caribbean, the procedures mentioned here are incredibly simple, although some may find them numerous. Purely digital submission with simple certifications does the rest. Total application time, including obtaining all the documents, should not exceed 4 hours. With other CBI programs, the time you will have to invest is closer to a minimum of 40 hours.

By the way, it is important to keep in mind that, from 2025, there will be a significant change that Christoph has been able to avoid so far: Vanuatu passports will be biometric (which makes sense in principle and should lead to greater freedom of travel), requiring a personal visit to have your fingerprints and the like taken. This personal visit does not have to be made in remote Vanuatu. It can be done in several more accessible places around the world, including Brussels, Dubai, New Caledonia and New York. There will be more places in the future. Unlike the Caribbean, there is no face-to-face interview required.

Comparatively low costs for the expected benefit

There are two ways to get a Vanuatu passport: a slightly smaller donation (Vanuatu Development Support Program = DSP) or a combination of donation and refundable investment (Capital Immigration Investment Plan = CIIP). Christoph chose the CIIP and so far it has paid off. For an individual investor, the procedures and fees are exactly the same. However, in addition to the different basic structure of the programs, there is a price difference in terms of the family members included in the application.

In the DSP, the donation for an individual applicant is $130,000. In addition, only there is only a $5,500 due diligence fee. However, the DSP program is more expensive for each additional family member: $150,000 for a couple, $165,000 for the first child, $180,000 for the second child, and then $10,000 for each additional person.

The CIIP program for families with children is, on the other hand, much less expensive. The full package of $105,000 donation and $50,000 investment covers up to 4 people. Discounting the investment, which is repaid after 4 years, the effective cost is only $27,500 for each family member, calculated for a family of 4. This is an unbeatable price, as only due diligence fees per person in the Caribbean can reach these sums.

Even for a single person, the CIIP program is usually more advisable. Although you have to spend an additional $25,000 in liquidity, you will save $25,000 after 4 years compared to the DSP program. The investment of $50,000 investment goes into local sustainable agriculture, in Christoph’s case, a cocoa plantation. It sounds pretty good and generates about 2% interest per year, in addition to the return after 4 years. It’s not much, but the important thing is the return of the part of the investment paid to the CBI, not the return.

Granting Vanuatu citizenship to future children who are not yet born costs 15,000 USD. For parents or dependent siblings, an additional donation of 25,000 USD per person is generally required for both programs.

In general, citizenship in Vanuatu can be obtained for a relatively low cost, about half that of the Caribbean CBI in 2025. New programs in the Pacific, such as Nauru, or in Eastern Europe, such as Moldova, are in a similar price range, but are much less attractive in terms of passports. In addition to the modest costs, Vanuatu is also easy to pay.

Facilities for transferring money – payment in cryptocurrency

The Vanuatu passport can be paid for entirely in cryptocurrency. This way, there are no waiting times and no problems with the banks. Christoph also used this option and sent 162,500 Tether (USDT) to the responsible agent. Unfortunately, there is a 5% surcharge for this option, but it is often worth it for those who keep their money in cryptocurrencies. It should be noted that there are some fees associated with converting and transferring money in the fiat system. Christoph transferred the $5,500 due diligence fee through a bank, but it could have been done with cryptocurrencies. The bitcoin Bull run in November 2024 allowed him to actually finance the passport at no additional cost.

Cryptocurrencies are explicitly allowed and do not pose a problem in processing, except for an additional 5% cost. The required regulatory compliance is also minimal: a signed self-declaration stating what income (e. g., from your own business) the money comes from and how much you earn from it per year. There are no further questions. A great advantage, especially for perpetual travelers with often unstable banking relationships.

Really relevant advantages in terms of freedom to travel (to Russia, etc.)

Let’s move on to the interesting topic of freedom of movement, with which Vanuatu is often ridiculed by the competition. However, one has to wonder if the advantages of the Caribbean CBI on paper are really that significant in practice. After all, there’s a lot to be said for what those interested in CBI programs don’t know.

The core of the discussion is the withdrawal of Vanuatu’s access to Schengen. Because of criticism of Vanuatu’s CBI program, the EU has decided to use the visa exemption as leverage to force reforms. Vanuatu, but we will talk about this in the next section, has decided that it will not cooperate. It insists on its sovereignty and defends itself against the EU’s shameless accusations and proposals, which would not really make the program any safer, but would make it much less attractive. As has been the case in the Caribbean for a long time.

At first glance, this seems to be a big disadvantage, but if we look a little closer, it is not at all for the following reasons:

1. Almost all European citizens interested in the CBI program will retain their original citizenship, at least for the time being. Unless there is a compelling reason to renounce their original citizenship, they will not do so. They would therefore retain full freedom of establishment in the Schengen area despite their additional Vanuatu passport.
2. Even if you renounce your EU citizenship, you can maintain permanent access to the Schengen area. While CBI programs are banned in the EU (except in the case of Malta), many countries continue to grant golden visas for permanent access to the Schengen area, although, for example, Portugal and Spain have recently made several modifications to them. The cheapest ones cost less than Vanuatu citizenship itself. For example, in Malta, a country in the Schengen zone, you can get permanent residency with a donation of 98,000 euros, or in Latvia with an investment of 50,000 euros in a company. Real estate opportunities, such as those in Greece starting at 200,000 euros, can also be interesting. A Golden Visa does not require a minimum stay or tax liability and allows unlimited access to the Schengen area. The Vanuatu passport has a very high success rate for Golden Visas. Many Indians, Chinese and Arabs use it to pave their way to Europe.
3. From 2025, after several delays, the Electronic System for Travel Authorization will also be introduced in the European Union. The Schengen ESTA, called ETIAS, will be mandatory for all foreign citizens of countries that are in principle exempt from visa requirements to enter the Schengen area. It is not necessary to apply for a Schengen visa, but you will have to answer numerous questions online. Among other things, it asks: “Have you bought your nationality?” This question, as experts know, will play a key role in ETIAS and will allow the EU to exclude citizens of undesirable CBI countries. If this question is answered in the affirmative, ETIAS will not be granted and it will therefore be mandatory to apply for a real visa. In itself, this is a smart idea to avoid harming citizens born in a country, but to limit the potential security risks of passport buyers. If this happens, Caribbean CBI programs will suddenly lose their appeal.
4. The Schengen visa requirement is not mean a barrier to access. In fact, Schengen visa refusal rates are comparatively low. In 2022, only 1.18% of all applications from Vanuatu citizens received a negative response. For comparison: Guinea ranks first with 51.1%, while Bangladesh, in tenth place, has a refusal rate of 36.9%. Out of every 100 citizens of Vanuatu, 99 get their visas without any problems and enjoy the same freedoms as citizens of visa waiver countries: 90 days of stay in the Schengen area in 180 days. It is true that applying for a visa can be a hassle, but the visas are valid for multiple entries over several years.

The Vanuatu passport also compares favorably with other visa-requiring countries. With a 38% refusal rate for the B tourist visa in the USA, Vanuatu is still better than more than 50 countries, although this figure may seem high (even Germany has 12%). And with Australia and New Zealand, long-term visas are essential and easy to obtain due to geographical proximity and cultural ties. Transit of less than 24 hours is even visa-free for Vanuatu citizens in both countries.

Despite the loss of visa-free access to over 20 Schengen Area countries, the Vanuatu passport still offers visa-free access to almost 95 countries worldwide remaining in the top 50. There are several strengths worth mentioning. Significant travel advantages over the German passport (and many European passports) are:

• 90 out of 180 days visa-free in Russia instead of with a visa
• 60 instead of 30 days e-visa in India
• 180 instead of 90 days in Peru
• visa-free for Indonesia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe instead of e-visa
• visa on arrival for Nauru instead of visa
• no visa required for transit in Australia/New Zealand

For Christoph, an extreme traveler, the 90-day visa-free access to Russia, a country he has visited relatively little, is most important. It should also be noted that 90 days in Russia is the exception rather than the rule. Most CBIs in the Caribbean also offer visa-free access to Russia, but only for 30 days. That’s not much for such a big country.

The other advantages are more cosmetic, but they can simplify the tedious online formalities. Especially in Indonesia, Vanuatu is in a better position than Germany. And for other extreme travelers: the relatively difficult visa for the Pacific state of Nauru is easy to obtain for Vanuatu citizens on arrival.

Many other typical tourist and nomadic destinations can also be visited without a visa with a Vanuatu passport. Other typical visa waiver/on arrival destinations not listed above, for example:

• Bahamas (3 months)
• Botswana (3 months)
• Costa Rica (30 days)
• Ecuador (90 days)
• Fiji (120 days)
• Israel (90 days)
• Malaysia (30 days)
• Mauritius (90 days)
• Montenegro (90 days)
• Panama/Nicaragua/El Salvador/Guatemala/Honduras/Belize (90 days)
• United Arab Emirates (30 days)

However, Vanuatu citizenship does not yet offer any supranational benefits, as regional integration of the Pacific Islands is not very advanced. Therefore, there is no CARICOM freedom of establishment as in the Caribbean, but a similar model is expected in the long term. In particular, the integration of Australia and New Zealand could significantly enhance the value of Pacific citizenship. In principle, this is to be expected, as the small populations of the Pacific island states pose little threat of mass migration and greater cooperation is inevitable in the face of regional challenges.

In principle, a Vanuatu passport can be used to travel the world without too many problems. The lack of access to the Schengen area will be a secondary issue in the medium term. Much more important is the sovereignty of the country and its unwillingness to cooperate with absurd demands.

Unlike the Caribbean, Vanuatu does not cooperate with Western countries

Vanuatu is not only undaunted by Western intimidation when it comes to citizenship, but also stubbornly refuses to give up its tax advantages in financial matters, much to the displeasure of the EU. As a result, it is on the EU’s blacklist of uncooperative tax havens.

In practice, this has little effect. People who want to bank in the EU use their other passport and address. The same goes for the other possible sanctions described in this article. Local elites prefer to bank in Australia or New Zealand, while 80% of Vanuatu’s population probably doesn’t even need an account because they are subsistence farmers. The blacklist is not a means of exerting pressure, either on Vanuatu nationals or on naturalized citizens. Ironically, Vanuatu is on the white list outside the EU sphere. The Financial Action Task Force list, which is much more important in the area of money laundering and international payments, includes jurisdictions such as Bulgaria, Croatia and Monaco, but not Vanuatu. In these matters, Vanuatu has a clear conscience and is therefore not excluded from banking in other countries outside the EU. In fact, the Vanuatu passport is a very good passport for opening bank accounts.

A lack of cooperation also means a lack of exchange. Although Vanuatu, after initial resistance, has been participating since 2021 in the automatic exchange of information, it of course waives this in the case of Vanuatu citizens. And since naturalizations are not reported to the state of origin, the state is often unaware of them.

You can easily use your Vanuatu passport to create your tax and accounting-free offshore structures under Vanuatu law and link them to local banks. With Pacific Private Bank, BRED Bank, ANZ and the National Bank of Vanuatu offer internationally usable accounts for both companies and individuals.

The unwillingness to cooperate should not be underestimated as an advantage of nationality. The more totalitarian the countries of origin, the more important the sovereignty of the new nationality. It is difficult for the EU and the US to put pressure on Vanuatu. The country, plagued by natural disasters, tends to evoke public sympathy and is too far away to impose heavy sanctions. Most of the inhabitants live from hand to mouth and are not dependent on Western luxury products. There is virtually no European tourism to speak of. However, Vanuatu gets along very well with Australia and New Zealand.

Do you want to be a citizen of a country that senselessly and unreasonably applies all kinds of nonsense because a “more powerful” bloc demands it? Or do you want to be a free citizen of a sovereign nation defending itself against totalitarian influence? In Vanuatu you can choose the latter. Perhaps that is why the Ni-Vanuatu are, according to some classifications, the happiest people in the world.

It is a safe and attractive place to live and travel that never gets boring

Vanuatu is not just one small island like Nauru, it is an archipelago of 83 islands. Unlike Tuvalu, even if you believe the climate propaganda, it will not sink into the sea too quickly either, as most of the islands are mountainous or rugged. Vanuatu is truly a tourist destination and a very good place to live. Hikers and water sports enthusiasts, as well as those interested in culture, will enjoy the diversity the islands and tribes. At the latest with the local “drug” kava or intoxication potion, a vegetable drink with many advantages.

Geographically Ideally located in the Pacific, it is good base for those who want to spend part of the year in Australia, New Zealand or other Pacific islands and be completely tax-free. International centers such as Sydney and Auckland are only a two-hour flight away. Sailors have an almost inexhaustible choice of anchorages and pilots enjoy wonderful views.

In the event of a global crisis, Vanuatu is a retirement country with many advantages. Most of the population has always been self-sufficiently thanks to subsistence farming. However, export agriculture is becoming increasingly important in many areas of Vanuatu, such as livestock and cash crops. The country has no army or significant military installations, but it is protected by Australia, a Commonwealth protection power, in case of need. However, due to Vanuatu’s political neutrality makes this unlikely.

Life in the country is relatively cheap and political and social conflicts are rare. Compared to the Caribbean, crime is very low. Only four countries rank higher than Vanuatu on the Organized Crime Index. Despite external instability (four prime ministers in four years), politics is not a cause for concern. All parties are very centrist and there are few social divisions as in the West. Differences between the parties on the country’s development goals are largely cosmetic.

One negative aspect, however, is the high probability of natural disasters. Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and cyclones regularly devastate parts of the country, as recently happened in the capital, Port Vila. But for those who don’t want to live in Vanuatu, this may be of relatively little concern. When in doubt, the destructive force of nature is clearly preferable to that of the state.

Interest in the investment required and in the country itself

Being able to identify personally with the country is also undoubtedly an important factor in deciding whether to apply for citizenship. Becoming a citizen of Vanuatu means joining the ranks of the happiest people in the world according to various rankings. Although these rankings should be analyzed with a critical eye, some of the indicators evaluated yield positive conclusions. The citizens of Vanuatu are peaceful, self-sufficient and very decentralized and autonomous. Personal freedom and peaceful coexistence are still highly valued. More than 100 indigenous tribes, each with their own language and traditions, are proof of this.

With a donation you support the development of the country and its sovereignty. In a peaceful, decentralized and tax-free country, people are happy to do so. Investments, as in the case of Christoph’s cocoa plantation, are not only useful for the economic development of the country, but also have a good external impact, because who doesn’t like chocolate?

It is up to each naturalized citizen to decide if and to what extent he wants to integrate into Vanuatu and if he wants to visit the island. After all, it’s not compulsory. Be that as it may, it is important to think about the citizenship you have voluntarily acquired. Even though the passport is just a piece of paper that gives you certain advantages, and generally does not make you a real local, if you don’t identify with the country a little bit, you will probably not be happy with your decision in the long run. Vanuatu offers much more than the opportunity to buy a relatively cheap passport with crypto. Vanuatu offers a level of security that few countries in the world can offer. The security that, in case of doubt, they will leave you alone. The only human right that counts in our eyes. It’s no surprise that Christoph became a Vanuatu citizen.
