Vanuatu passport route
Vanuatu passport: fast, lower-cost, and document-light
Vanuatu remains a useful comparison route for clients who care about speed, budget, and a simpler document package. It should not be sold as an EU visa-free solution, and nationality restrictions must be checked before any serious work begins.
Important: Iranian nationals are commonly treated as restricted for Vanuatu CBI. We do not promote Vanuatu as a direct route for Iranian clients unless an exceptional case is pre-cleared in writing. Iranian clients should review Sao Tome first.
Speed-led positioning
Vanuatu is usually considered a fast CBI route for clients seeking a practical second identity.

Applications should go through authorized channels rather than unclear brokers or informal payment paths.
4. Approval and oath
After review, the process moves to payment, oath, citizenship certificate, and passport issuance as applicable.
FAQ
FAQ
Who is Vanuatu best for?
Clients who prioritize speed, budget, and a simpler file, and who do not rely on EU visa-free access as the main reason.
Can Iranian nationals apply?
Iran is treated as restricted by many Vanuatu CBI sources. Exceptional cases need written pre-clearance; otherwise treat it as temporarily unavailable.
Does Vanuatu still give EU visa-free access?
No. The EU has ended visa exemption for Vanuatu nationals, so Europe travel must be checked under visa rules.
What should I send first?
Nationality, birthplace, residence, family size, budget, intended use, and available documents.
