The Challenge:
To secure second citizenship in Vanuatu for a family of investors from the Republic of Belarus within a tight deadline, ahead of upcoming program changes, including the introduction of mandatory biometrics and a planned review of investment terms.

Our Solution:
IST Hungary’s specialists provided comprehensive end-to-end case management—from the initial consultation and document preparation to liaising with the government-authorized agents of Vanuatu. We acted as a single point of contact for the clients, ensuring full compliance with all legal requirements.

The Result:

  • Vanuatu Citizenship Obtained. Our clients are now full-fledged citizens of Vanuatu. The official Certificates of Naturalization have been received, and the civil passports have been sent for production.
  • Record-Breaking Timeline. The entire procedure, from document submission to naturalization, was completed in less than 1 month.
  • Successfully Ahead of Changes. The clients secured their status under the current favorable conditions, avoiding new requirements such as mandatory biometrics collection in the UAE starting July 1, 2025, and a potential increase in the investment threshold.
  • Receiving passports. Two and a half weeks after the positive decision, the passports were delivered directly to the client’s home.

How We Achieved This:

The key to success was our streamlined methodology:

  1. Expert Compliance. We ensured flawless adherence to both Vanuatu’s legislation and strict international standards, eliminating the risk of application rejection.
  2. Impeccable Document Handling. The application dossier was prepared perfectly and submitted correctly the first time, preventing any delays.
  3. Direct Communication. As official sub-agents of the program, we efficiently coordinated all processes with the authorized bodies, accelerating decision-making.
