Why our pricing is different

Most agents in this industry add their own fees on top of government costs — typically 10–20% of the total. Some disclose this upfront. Others build it into inflated price quotes that grow during the application. As a government-appointed Master Agent, Stanford Knight is paid directly by the Vanuatu Government. The price you see is the price you pay. There is no additional layer.

We interviewed four agents before choosing Stanford Knight. They were the only ones who could explain the programme from the inside — because they helped build it. That credibility made the decision easy

Programme Comparison

Still deciding?

DSP

From
USD $135,000 (Single Applicant)
Choose DSP if:

you are a single applicant or small family seeking the lowest single-applicant entry point ($135,000), and you do not need the Impact Fund’s redemption feature.

CIIP

From
USD $165,000 (Principal + spouse + two children)
Choose CIIP if:

you are a couple or family that benefits from the all-included $165,000 base for principal + spouse + two children under 18, and you value the redemption of $50,000 plus any investment returns after 4 years.
