Project description and fees<\/p>\n
\u2022 Policy Nature: Vanuatu Permanent Residency (commonly known as a "green card") is established by the Vanuatu Immigration Department (VIB) in accordance with immigration law and is an officially recognized fast-track immigration program. Applicants obtain an indefinite permanent residency card (PR Card) by making a government-designated donation to the Vanuatu National Development Fund. This program does not issue passports, and cardholders can live, work, and do business in Vanuatu indefinitely while retaining their original nationality.
\n\u2022 Completely different from the "passport program": It's crucial to clearly distinguish between Vanuatu's citizenship by investment (passport) and permanent residency (green card). These are two entirely different paths. The passport program requires a donation of at least US$130,000 to become a Commonwealth citizen; while the green card program only requires a donation of approximately US$20,000 and grants a permanent residency card, not citizenship. The two differ fundamentally in cost, status, and purpose. If you are pursuing a passport rather than a green card, please skip to the "Green Card vs. Passport Comparison" section at the end of this article to confirm your choice.
\n\u2022 Key advantages: No language requirements (no English test required), no educational requirements, no business background requirements, no mandatory residency restrictions, and spouses, children, and parents over 65 years of age can apply together.
\n\u2022 2026 Green Card Fee Breakdown:

\n \u2462 Third-party service fees
\n \u2022 Background check fee: Approximately US$1,000 for the principal applicant and approximately US$500 per dependent applicant.
\n \u2022 Document translation and notarization fee: approximately 2,000-3,000 RMB
\n \u2022 Professional immigration lawyer\/representative service fee: approximately US$5,000-8,000
\n \u2463 Government bond investment path (alternative solution: green card issued, not passport)
\n \u2022 Application fee per person: US$2,500 (department charge, non-refundable)
\n \u2022 Investment amount: US$50,000, invested in a three-year government bond product approved by the Central Bank of Vanuatu, with no interest returned upon maturity.
\n \u2022 Due diligence fee: Approximately US$3,000 (principal applicant + one dependent applicant)
\n \u2022 Legal services and document notarization fees: approximately US$12,000
\n \u2022 Miscellaneous fees (double authentication of birth certificate, update of criminal record check, courier service, etc.): Approximately US$2,000
\n \u2022 Total cost per person: approximately US$82,000, but the initial investment of US$50,000 can be recovered after three years, resulting in an actual net expenditure of approximately US$32,000.
\n\u2022 Note on the government bond pathway: Even after approval, this pathway only issues a green card (permanent residency card), not a passport. Cardholders can freely enter and exit Vanuatu, work and live there, open bank accounts, and register companies, but do not enjoy visa-free access worldwide. If your core objective is to quickly obtain a second passport, the government bond pathway is not suitable; you should directly consider passport programs (starting with a donation of US$130,000).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
