How can I get the lower-priced option? Is buying any form of real estate an option to obtain citizenship? If so, what is the minimum cost?
Answers
There is no real estate option at the moment, but we are attempting to introduce one.
The pricing is inconsistent on the internet due to unscrupulous agents - many of whom are not officially appointed.
The Vanuatu Development Support Program has two different pricing: one is for China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and the other is for the rest of the world.
For China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan: for a single applicant the selling price must not be less than US$150,000;
for a married couple the selling price must not be less than US$170,000; for a married couple and a child under 18 the selling price must not be less than US$185,000; for a married couple and 2 children under 18 the selling price must not be
less than US$200,000.
For any other country: for a single applicant the donation is US$80,000; for husband/wife the donation is US$100,000; for husband/wife and a child under 18 the donation is US$115,000; for husband/wife and 2 children under 18 the donation is US$130,000.
So your citizenship will decide how much you should donate to the Development Support Program.
