Overview
Second citizenship: why consider one?
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.
Why people choose it
Travel flexibility, a Plan B for your family against political or economic uncertainty at home, broader business and banking options, and citizenship that can often pass to future children. Access varies by passport and each country's rules apply.
Citizenship or residency?
Vanuatu permanent residency lets you live in Vanuatu while you remain a citizen of your home country. A Vanuatu passport is full citizenship with a travel document. Many clients start with residency and upgrade later, so we compare both against your goals, budget and timeline.
Check your home-country rules first
Not every country allows dual citizenship. China and India, for example, do not generally allow it, while Pakistan allows it only with certain countries. We advise you on your own position before you apply, and residency is often the practical alternative.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep my current passport?
Vanuatu and Nauru both permit dual citizenship, so you can generally keep your current nationality, but your home country may not. Check its rules first.
How long does a second citizenship take?
About 2 months for the Vanuatu passport and typically 3-4 months for Nauru and São Tomé and Príncipe, from a complete application.
