Tax considerations
Vanuatu levies no personal income, capital gains or inheritance tax, and holding the passport does not by itself make you tax-resident there. Your position depends on where you actually live and are taxed. We coordinate with qualified tax advisers rather than giving tax advice.
Vanuatu: frequently asked
Do I have to live in Vanuatu?
No. There is no residency or physical-presence requirement, and the whole process can be completed remotely.
How fast is it?
Vanuatu is the fastest CBI on the market, often processing in around 1 to 2 months. We confirm the current timeline for you at qualification.
How strong is the passport?
Visa-free access is narrower than the Caribbean programmes, at roughly 96 destinations, and EU and Schengen access has been subject to change. [VERIFY current visa-free access, including the Schengen position, before quoting.]
Can I include my family?
Yes. A spouse, dependent children and, in many cases, dependent parents can be included. [VERIFY current dependant rules.]
