~2 moTimeline
$130k+From (all-in ~$135,500)
~90Visa-free / VoA

Expatriates resident in the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) often want a second passport as a contingency. Vanuatu citizenship by investment is the fastest route — about two months, fully remote, from $130,000 — and can be handled while you live and work in the Gulf.

Dual citizenship: This route is for expatriates living in the UAE (the UAE itself rarely grants citizenship). Whether you can hold Vanuatu citizenship alongside your existing nationality depends on YOUR home country's dual-citizenship rules — we check this for you.

Your passport vs a Vanuatu passport

For UAE-based professionals and entrepreneurs, a Vanuatu passport is a fast, low-cost back-up citizenship with 0% tax on foreign income and no residence requirement — independent of your UAE visa status. Its travel value (≈90 destinations incl. Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Russia) and the EU/UK visa caveat apply as for everyone.

FAQ — Vanuatu citizenship for UAE-residents

Can UAE residents apply for Vanuatu citizenship?
Yes. The process is remote and can be completed from the UAE; eligibility depends on your nationality (some are restricted), which we check first.
Will it affect my UAE residency?
No — Vanuatu citizenship is separate from your UAE visa/residency. Whether you keep your original nationality depends on that country's dual-citizenship rules.
