There’s an initial due diligence fee of USD 8,000, which is non-refundable. Following this, the citizenship fees start at USD 107,000 covering from a single applicant to a family comprising up to four members. And finally, Capital guaranteed investment in the CNO Future Fund – USD50,000 (Redeemable after 5 years). If you wish to include more dependents beyond this, additional fees will apply.

Vanuatu citizenship offers visa-free travel to 100+ countries, tax benefits, a quick application process, and inclusion of family members. Plus, there’s a low investment starting from $165,000 (all-inclusive).

Certainly, the DSP and CIIP both offer pathways to Vanuatu citizenship through financial contributions but differ primarily in investment nature and cost:

• DSP: Requires a non-refundable donation, costing USD 185,000 for a family of four, and is used for various developmental purposes across Vanuatu.
• CIIP: Involves a USD 165,000 all-inclusive fee for 1-4 family members and includes a USD 50,000 investment into the “CNO Future Fund,” which is redeemable after 5 years, effectively reducing the overall cost of citizenship. This fund specifically aids in the development of the coconut oil sector to meet Vanuatu’s 2030 carbon net zero goals.
