A reliable solution for obtaining a second passport in the shortest timeframe
Vanuatu has run its accelerated citizenship programme since 2017, under Chapter 112 of the Citizenship Act. A single non-refundable contribution to the National Development Fund is the only qualifying route — there is no property option, no bond, and no business test.
That narrowness is the point. Vanuatu does not compete on the strength of the travel document; it competes on how quickly and predictably the document can be obtained.
No other programme in the Mirsatori catalogue moves from engagement to passport in a comparable window.
No extensive dossier, no interview, and no obligation to live in Vanuatu at any stage.
Vanuatu citizens may apply immediately for a five-year B-1/B-2 visa permitting up to 180 days in the United States each year.
Visa-free entry to Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, and Singapore — the corridors most used by operating founders.
No tax on income, capital gains, inheritance, or gifts.
Founders under time pressure, where a passport that arrives late is the same as no passport at all.
Founders registering an international company in Vanuatu, which carries a twenty-year exemption on profits and gains.
