Vanuatu Immigration office has imposed a new rule change in the passport system for Vanuatu citizens who obtained citizenship through DSP, VCP and CIIP, applying for Vanuatu passports. They MUST visit Vanuatu in person to provide biometric and facial data and apply for the passport.
It is no longer possible to apply for Vanuatu citizenship by investment without making a personal visit. The Main applicant, spouse, children (family members) must appear in person if they want passports.
