CIIP - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATION PROCESS
3 SIMPLE STEPS
STEP
1
Step 1 is carried out by the Vanuatu “Financial Intelligence Unit” (FIU), Immigration Department and Interpol leading to the issue of letter of clearance for Citizenship, subject to completing the remaining document and process formalities.
A Due Diligence Fee of USD 5,000 (including administration fee) is submitted with Stage 1 documents. This fee is only taken once PSCVL has reasonable confidence that the Due Diligence process will be successfully completed.
Vanuatu's Citizenship by Investment Programs are known as the quickest and most straight forward globally.
The Due Diligence process is normally 7-10 days.
