Confirm the exact Vanuatu citizenship programme before comparing an offer. Check the designated agent, current travel rules and the identity and financial evidence required.
Discuss your plans with an adviser.
Confirm the exact programme and its current conditions with the Citizenship Office, together with the designated professional for that route. Compare offers only once the programme, applicant circumstances and funding requirements are clear.
Check current destination entry rules separately from the citizenship application. A programme proposal should distinguish the citizenship process from future travel eligibility rather than presenting an unqualified travel outcome.
Start with the official route and current rules before assessing any advertised benefits.
Expand a deliverable for the detail.
Record the pathway and professional role to verify against the Citizenship Office’s current information.
Organise family records, residence history and evidence explaining the proposed funds for the designated professional.
Separate assessment charges, qualifying commitments and final documentation, with travel expectations checked independently.
Firswood directly delivers preparation and coordination. Formal representation follows Vanuatu’s required authorised channel; government assessment and route conditions determine the application outcome.
Vanuatu’s Citizenship Office and Commission administers several citizenship pathways and publishes information on investment programmes, designated agents and due diligence. The Development Support Program has its own nomination checklist. Begin by confirming which specific programme is being proposed rather than treating every offer described as Vanuatu citizenship as the same product.
Firswood Consultancy, trading as CompanyFormation.ae, directly manages Vanuatu citizenship preparation and coordination. We organise the applicant brief, document work and application handover. Formal representation and submission must follow the official programme channel; the engagement should identify the responsible designated professional for the selected programme, their current status, fees and duties. Government assessment determines the outcome.

The selected route’s current official checklist governs the application. These are preparation categories to review with the designated professional.
The receiving authority or appointed professional confirms the final checklist.

Have a question about one of these records?
Start with the official route and current rules before assessing any advertised benefits.
Identify the exact programme name, official checklist and designated agent behind the proposed application. Vanuatu’s Development Support Program has a specific nomination route; other citizenship pathways should not be treated as the same offer. Ask for the engaged provider’s full legal name, current authority and written payment stages. Keep citizenship documentation separate from unrelated offers of honorary positions or diplomatic credentials.
A passport should not be evaluated using an outdated list of visa-free destinations. The Council of the European Union ended Vanuatu’s visa exemption in December 2024. Check the current rules of each destination relevant to you, including the purpose and duration of travel. Citizenship does not remove the destination authority’s power to assess entry or a visa application. Source: Council of the EU: Vanuatu visa exemption ended.
The Citizenship Office has published notices about Financial Intelligence Unit due diligence and enhanced investment verification. Build a clear record of identity, family relationships and the origin of the proposed funds. If the evidence comes from several countries, organise it by issuer and language. The designated professional should confirm the current checklist, accepted certification and any further assessment requirements. If records come from several countries, use the document attestation origin checks to organise questions for the designated professional.
A verified route and a complete evidence file should precede the formal application commitments.
Check the Citizenship Office’s programme and designated-agent information. Resolve any uncertainty about the provider’s current permission before engagement.
Describe the intended applicants and source of funds. Obtain a written explanation of the financial commitment, professional charges and payment milestones.
Use the specific programme checklist. Reconcile identity and family details, arrange accepted documents and explain material gaps or changes.
Follow the designated professional’s current instructions for due diligence and any required verification. Keep a record of submitted material and authority correspondence.
Act on official decisions and completion instructions. Retain citizenship documents, clarify the passport application route and record any remaining obligations.
Ask for a written route-specific budget with clear payees, milestones and refund treatment.
| Cost component | What to account for |
|---|---|
| Programme financial commitment | Confirm the official contribution or investment terms for the exact route. Avoid treating an informal advertised total as a current government tariff. |
| Due diligence and official charges | Separate assessment and government fees from the principal commitment, with the applicable people and payment stage identified. |
| Designated-professional services | Record who is engaged, what they are authorised to do and which preparation or follow-up services their fee includes. |
| Supporting records and passport work | Document collection, accepted certification, translation, payment costs and passport arrangements may require separate allowances. |
Request a written scope and current third-party charges before committing.
State the intended applicants, the programme route you are considering and relevant dates. Request the full service scope, responsible authorised representative and an itemised family-specific budget.
Readiness, authority verification and completion procedures determine the schedule. A sales estimate is not an official commitment.
Confirm provider status and obtain the current checklist before ordering records or arranging payments.
The programme’s current checks and any further-information requests affect progress and remain outside a coordinator’s control.
Track citizenship and passport outputs separately, including any appointment or identity requirements confirmed for the chosen route.
The handover should help you manage documentation responsibly after the application concludes.
Keep decision correspondence, receipts and issued citizenship documentation in a secure, retrievable record, with the engaged professional’s details.
Use the responsible immigration or citizenship authority’s current instructions for passport issuance and renewal rather than relying solely on an intermediary.
Confirm visa and entry rules for each trip, and obtain appropriate advice before assuming that a new citizenship changes residence or reporting duties elsewhere.
Need to discuss your own circumstances?
No. Confirm the exact route, current conditions and authorised channel with the Citizenship Office before comparing quotations.
Firswood Consultancy directly manages the preparation and coordination service. Formal submission follows Vanuatu’s required channel, with the responsible designated professional for the selected programme and current authorisation identified in the engagement. Direct service delivery is not a government approval or a citizenship guarantee.
The Council of the EU ended the visa exemption in December 2024. Check the current visa requirements of the relevant destination before planning travel.
Do not proceed on that assumption. The Citizenship Office publishes due-diligence and investment-verification information, and the application must follow the current assessment process.
Use the selected programme’s current official checklist. Naturalisation or passport forms may not be the right investment-programme documents. Likewise, the Dominica document process is a separate country’s route, not a reusable Vanuatu application checklist.
The responsible authorities determine the outcome and issue documents. A coordinator cannot guarantee approval, assessment duration or delivery by a particular date.
