The Vanuatu Development Support Program

The Vanuatu Development Support Program (DSP) is a structured citizenship by investment route designed for qualified applicants seeking a fast, advisor-led pathway with online onboarding and a clear, two-stage compliance process.

Unlike investment-linked programs, the DSP is a direct contribution to Vanuatu's national development fund β€” making it the most straightforward route to Vanuatu citizenship. There is no investment to manage, no fund to subscribe to, and no company to set up.

VIMB manages your application from the first document to passport delivery, with dedicated support at every stage. The entire process is remote-friendly β€” no visits to Vanuatu are required at any point.
