Russian nationals are eligible to invest in the Vanuatu citizenship by investment (CBI) program and gain citizenship. The primary investment is the Vanuatu Development Support Program, which requires a non-refundable donation of $130,000. The second Vanuatu contribution program is the Capital Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP), which is partially refundable and starts at $165,000.

Property investment is a third option through the Real Estate Option Program (REO), with a minimum investment of $200,000. The Vanuatu CBI program is overseen by the Vanuatu Citizenship Commission (VCC), and an Authorized Agent licensed by the VCC manages the entire process on the investor’s behalf.

Global Citizen Solutions is an investment migration agency with Russian-speaking Vanuatu citizenship consultants who can facilitate a seamless application process for Russian investors.

1. Visa free travel: Vanuatu passport holders have visa free access to 96 countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Caribbean countries, and New Zealand, expanding global access for Russians.
2. Affordable citizenship: With investment options starting from $130,000 for a single applicant and $165,000 for a primary applicant and up to three dependents, acquiring Vanuatu citizenship is cheaper than Caribbean citizenship.
3. Reliable Plan B: Vanuatu’s politically neutral alternative passport is a secure backup plan for Russian investors seeking citizenship and a secure future.
4. Fast citizenship timeline: Russian passport holders can obtain citizenship and get a Vanuatu passport within two to three months.
5. No residency requirements: There are no requirements to visit Vanuatu or relocate to the country to acquire citizenship and a second passport.
6. Tax planning: Vanuatu taxes include zero personal income taxes, capital gains, inheritance, or wealth taxes.
7. Citizenship for family: Russian applicants can get a second citizenship for their spouse, children, parents, grandparents, and future generations.
8. Discreet citizenship program: The Vanuatu citizenship program has a discreet application and due diligence process, enabling Russian nationals to obtain Vanuatu citizenship confidentially.
9. Business friendliness: Vanuatu ranks third on the Global Citizens Solutions Global Residency and Citizenship by Investment Report for tax optimization, and Russian investors can establish an International Business Company (IBC) and avoid corporate taxes with a flat annual fee.
10. No language requirements: The Vanuatu government does not require Russian applicants to demonstrate the ability to speak English to qualify for citizenship, and Russian-speaking migration specialists from firms like Global Citizen Solutions will complete the citizenship process on their behalf.
