Programme Overview

Citizenship and Capital, Combined

CIIP combines full Vanuatu citizenship for a family with a $50,000 investment in the Vanuatu Impact Fund — a sustainable development initiative supporting smallholder farmers across Vanuatu.

After four years, your $50,000 is returned in full. The effective cost of CIIP becomes $115,000 — making it the lowest net-cost pathway to Vanuatu citizenship for a qualifying family.

Stanford Knight & Partners is the exclusive Master Agent for the Vanuatu Impact Fund. The Fund was developed in direct partnership with the Vanuatu Government and is not available through any other provider.

Vanuatu Impact Fund

Citizenship That Builds Something Real

The Vanuatu Impact Fund — Exclusive to Stanford Knight

Your funds are secure. The Vanuatu Impact Fund is independently managed by a team of experts under a capital preservation policy — we work hard to ensure your funds are secured for the life of the investment.

After four years, your $50,000 is returned in full, plus any investment returns. The fund targets a feasible rate of return of 5–6% per annum.

Your investment supports 300+ farmers across diversified primary sector activities including coffee, cacao, and timber — never exposed to any single sector. You receive independent annual impact reports detailing exactly where your capital went and what it achieved.

This is not a token gesture. This is a working fund with measurable outcomes and real beneficiaries. Your citizenship investment builds genuine, lasting change.

Stanford Knight & Partners is the exclusive Master Agent for the Vanuatu Impact Fund. The Fund was developed in direct partnership with the Vanuatu Government and is not available through any other provider.
