Vanuatu client reviews
Every Vanuatu review from the shared BRIDGES database.
OlegOwner of a transport company
I needed the fastest legal route to a second passport. Vanuatu was arranged in two months, all remotely. Speed there is no need to apologise for.
All reviews
IgorOwner of a brokerageSix weeks passed between signing the contract and taking the oath. I did not believe a passport could be obtained faster than a visa to some countries. It turns out it can.
All reviews
OlenaOwner of a chain of aesthetic clinics
I applied for myself and my son. All the documents were accepted online, the oath was taken by video and a courier brought the passports. Not one flight in the whole process.

TimelineOfficial decisions
What has changed in the programme
- July 31, 2026
According to the Vanuatu Ministry of Finance, the citizenship program brought in about $97 million in the first half of 2026 - roughly 39% of state budget revenue. This does not affect applicants: the program remains in force and the filing conditions have not changed.
- July 21, 2026
The Prime Minister of Vanuatu presented more than 200 naturalisation certificates at an official ceremony. For applicants this confirms that documents are being issued normally.
- January 14, 2025
Regulation (EU) 2025/11 published: Vanuatu moved to the list of countries whose citizens require a visa to enter the EU. Vanuatu passport holders need a visa to travel to the Schengen area.
