Overview

Citizenship by investment, explained

Business Migration Worldwide is an authorised representative for Vanuatu, Nauru and São Tomé and Príncipe programmes. We recommend the route that fits your goals, then manage the application from start to finish.

How the process works

Every file follows the same shape: a free consultation, a choice of programme with a written cost breakdown, document preparation and due diligence, government submission, and finally approval and issuance.

Programmes we represent

Vanuatu permanent residency (from US$6,500*), the Vanuatu passport (US$130,000), the Nauru passport (from US$105,000) and the São Tomé and Príncipe passport (from US$105,000). Each has its own eligibility rules, contribution and timeline.

What to check before you apply

Use an authorised representative, ask for written terms and an itemised fee breakdown, and remember that applications are subject to due diligence and approval by each government. Approval cannot be guaranteed, and programme terms can change.

No. Applications are subject to due diligence and approval by each government, and approval cannot be guaranteed.

Vanuatu permanent residency starts from US$6,500*, but it is residency, not citizenship. Among passports, Nauru and São Tomé and Príncipe start from US$105,000 and the Vanuatu passport is US$130,000.
