The process for obtaining/buying a Vanuatu passport is quite simple and transparent. The Vanuatu passport eligibility requirements are also low. If you are applying for the Vanuatu citizenship through the local Development Support Program (VDSP), you will need to just collect a small package of documents, pass the verification and make a contribution.
You can apply for a passport via a collective application. A spouse, children under 25 and parents over 50 can be included in it for some extra payment. Language proficiency and knowledge of the Vanuatu history are not required to obtain the Vanuatu citizenship and there is no obligation to reside and stay in Vanuatu.
