If you’ve never heard of Vanuatu before, then you should because there are several people who are now proud citizens of this island nation in the South Pacific.
Without ever visiting the island, they have acquired Vanuatuan passports through a quick and cost-effective process.
This option has become increasingly popular among Indians looking to change their citizenship.
For many Indians, the journey to Vanuatu citizenship begins in Dubai.
Typically, they spend a year in the UAE to become non-resident Indians (NRIs).
Once they achieve NRI status, they hire a lawyer in Dubai to handle their Vanuatuan citizenship application.
The process is quick and much cheaper than other options like Cyprus or Malta.
The total cost is around Rs 1 crore for an individual or Rs 1.5 crore for a couple with minor children.
