Choosing a Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program must be strictly based on speed, all-in cost, and the robustness of the Due Diligence process.

As Caribbean programs have raised prices and face compliance scrutiny, Vanuatu stands as the objectively superior option, offering the fastest route and a recently strengthened, triple-checked Due Diligence system. As an advisor to the Vanuatu government for the official program, Glenn Craig has over three decades of industry experience.

The Critical Factor: Strengthened Due Diligence and Trust

Vanuatu has proactively addressed industry reputation concerns by significantly strengthening its internal processes over the last 12 months.

Key Features of Vanuatu’s Triple-Check Due Diligence:

• Record Speed: Due Diligence takes approximately three weeks to go through.
• Three-Part Vetting: Checks are now a triple check validation. The process is done by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the independent Interpol unit, and an immigration background check.
• Government Commitment: The government is focused on being a global leader in standards.
