Birth registration, national ID, and passport enrolment scale per applicant. BTC pricing live from CoinGecko; fiat cross-rates from the European Central Bank mid-market reference feed (the same source xe.com cites for its mid-market display), refreshed hourly.

CIIP is a structurally different file from DSP. The $50,000 fund subscription is a financial instrument, not a fee; it is held in the Cocoa Sustainable Fund for the four-year statutory period and is redeemable thereafter. Projected redemption value depends on fund performance and is not guaranteed. Family pricing for CIIP holds the government program fee flat at $110,000 across single applicant through family of four; birth registration, national ID, and passport enrolment scale per applicant.
From file to passport
The process, in order.
01Week zero
Strategy session.
A confidential thirty-minute call with the file owner. We confirm the right track for your file (DSP or CIIP), the family configuration, and your source-of-funds posture. No obligation.
02Weeks 1–3
Document preparation.
Government forms, certified copies of birth, marriage, and police certificates, medicals, professional references, and source-of-funds documentation. On-chain SoF for Bitcoin-funded files is supported.
03Weeks 3–4
Biometric enrolment.
One in-person visit at an accredited center: Port Vila, Dubai, Hong Kong, or Nouméa. Short session for fingerprint and facial-image capture under the ICAO biometric standard.
04Week 4
File submission.
Government fee paid via your selected rail (BTC, Lightning, USDT, credit card, or bank transfer). Full file submitted to the Vanuatu Citizenship Office.
05Weeks 5–9
VFIU due diligence.
Enhanced screening: Interpol NCB coordination, adverse media checks, on-chain source-of-funds verification. The unit reports back within approximately one week of completed screening; the surrounding timeline depends on document responsiveness.
06Weeks 7–12
Citizenship grant.
The Vanuatu Citizenship Commission issues the grant. Citizenship Certificate, then passport. Total file-to-passport: thirty to sixty days from clean submission; two to four months from initial engagement.
Payment Rails
Pay in Bitcoin.
BTC, Lightning, and USDT are our payment rails. Credit cards and bank transfers also accepted as needed.
⚡
Layer 2
Lightning Network.
For advisory fee, processing fee, and incremental document costs. Sub-second confirmation. Routing handled on our side; you pay the invoice.
⛓
Stablecoin
USDT.
Tron, Ethereum, or Liquid network on request. Fixed-USD denomination for clients holding stablecoin treasury. Settlement in minutes to one hour, depending on chain.
Credit cards and bank transfers are accepted as needed; both add three to five business days of settlement friction relative to BTC, Lightning, or USDT. USDC and other non-USDT stablecoins are excluded ecosystem-wide. All Bitcoin payments produce a sats-denominated receipt alongside USD. Source-of-funds documentation applies to all rails equally; the rail does not change the file.
Biometric · In-person
One short visit. Four accredited centers.
Under the ICAO biometric standard introduced May 2025, one in-person enrolment is required. We schedule the session at the center most convenient for your travel, then fold it into your normal calendar. No travel to Vanuatu itself is required.

What arrives
A passport. A citizenship certificate. A new jurisdiction.
At the end of the timeline, a courier delivers a Commonwealth-issue passport with a ten-year validity. The citizenship itself is permanent and hereditary; the passport is the physical instrument. Pair it with the Citizenship Certificate (the legal record of the grant) and an Oath of Allegiance signed at any Vanuatu mission. That is the file, closed.
Passport renewal is a $50–$150 fee at any Vanuatu mission every ten years. The citizenship behind it does not expire and does not require periodic re-validation.
Cost in Context
Less than a down payment in most major cities.
$130,000 buys a single applicant the fastest passport on the planet, in a zero-personal-income-tax jurisdiction, with visa-free reach to Singapore and Hong Kong. The figure is small relative to what it secures.
Velocity
Fastest in the world.
Thirty to sixty days. No residency. No interview. No language test. No annual cap.
Tax Floor
Zero, three times over.
Zero personal income. Zero capital gains. Zero inheritance. Fifteen-percent VAT on local consumption only.
Compounded
Hereditary.
Citizenship passes to children. No periodic renewal of the citizenship itself; passports renew every ten years.
