The Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment program was established in 2017, making it one of the latest citizenship by investment programs and the only one of its kind in the South Pacific region.

Vanuatu allows for dual nationality, and it is one of the few fast tracked citizenship routes in the world, issuing direct citizenship without residency requirements.
