VANUATU INVESTMENT MIGRATION BUREAU
Headquartered in Port Vila, Vanuatu, the Vanuatu Investment Migration Bureau (VIMB) is a Government appointed “Designated Agent” – meaning it is a licensed Master Agent to handle and process Citizenship applications directly with the Vanuatu Citizenship Commission.
VIMB is the only Designated Agent with its own global network of authorized representatives/offices for promotion of Vanuatu’s Citizenship by Investment Program – the Vanuatu “Development Support Program” (DSP)”
VIMB cooperates with a select number of partners around the world who are each appointed and accredited to work on behalf of VIMB.
By working with VIMB, you are working with a validated, credible and transparent channel to the Vanuatu Citizenship Commission.
With many agents in the market-place offering inaccurate and misleading pricing for the Vanautu DSP, VIMB seeks to act as a reliable reference regarding up to date pricing and processing as regulated by the Vanuatu Citizenship Commission.
VIMB provides the only truly end-to-end DSP processing service for our partners – from document submission to passport distribution. We control the entire process to give you and your clients peace of mind, process security and integrity.
