Vanuatu Citizenship By Investment Program
Vanuatu represents most people’s idea of paradise. Comprising a chain of 83 islands located in the South Pacific Ocean between Australia and New Zealand, the country is a former joint protectorate of Britain and France and became an independent republic in 1980. The country is self-sufficient and produces its own food, most of which is organically cultivated. Vanuatu operates as a free market economy and imposes no personal income taxes. The history of this archipelago as an independent state is yet to be written. Still, its people are working towards building an environment based on equality, hospitality, and business opportunities to attract ambitious investors with low taxation programs and a leading Vanuatu citizenship by investment program.
Overall the island chain is still underdeveloped; however, upmarket tourism is rapidly expanding. The main draw for tourists to the country is the unique flora and fauna as well as geological features such as one of the most easily accessible active volcanoes in the world! The capital city located on the island of Efate is called Port Vila and hosts a relatively small population of approximately 45,000 persons out of the country’s total population of 292,000 people.
Vanuatu holds diverse cultural and art festivals, musical and sporting events, conferences, and corporate events each year. Local traditions are still alive and well today, and they can be seen and felt all around the country. The country’s official languages are Bislama, French, and English, while it is estimated that over 100 languages are spoken locally. To apply for the Vanuatu citizenship program, get in touch with our experts today, and we’ll be more than glad to get you started with the requirements.
