Investment route to Vanuatu

$130,000 investment
Driven by $130,000 of committed capital.
Fastest CBI — citizenship in as little as 1–2 months for a ~$130K donation. Caveat: the EU suspended visa-free access for Vanuatu passport holders (from late 2024/2025) over due-diligence concerns, sharply reducing the passport's travel value. Still no residence requirement. Weigh the reduced visa-free utility.
