However, in 2018 amendments in investment sum were adopted. The government of the state has decided to decrease contribution value in order to make the program more attractive.
Today, the estimated cost of receiving Vanuatu passport is as follows:
- 178 thousand dollars — for a single applicant;
- 218 thousand dollars — for a family of four persons: the main applicant, his/her wife/husband, and two underage children.
The investment sum includes government fees and duties, as well as security screening. Also, the value includes:
- future passport exchange;
