Application Process
MONTH 1
Vanuatu citizenship onboarding process
We commence the Vanuatu citizenship process with Form 1. This enables us to carry out the initial RIF Trust due diligence. Following this screening, we will provide you with a Client Agreement (CA) to review and sign.
Upon receiving the signed agreement and retainer payment, our case processing team will complete all necessary government forms and supporting documents for the Vanuatu Development Support Program (DSP). The Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) conducts its own due diligence before issuing an Approval in Principle.
MONTH 2
Application review and submission
Before submitting your documents, we review your Vanuatu citizenship application to ensure your file complies with the DSP’s requirements.
We will continue to work closely with the Citizenship Unit throughout Month 2 and beyond.
MONTHS 2-3
