In Oceania, this site currently primarily covers Vanuatu's Development Support Program (DSP). Vanuatu is known for low-threshold, fast-track direct citizenship: the donation route starts at approximately US$200,000 for the main applicant, with processing times as short as 30–60 days (excluding due diligence), making it one of the fastest CBI programs globally, typically with no minimum residence requirement. ⚠️ Important risk reminder: The EU formally suspended visa-free access to the Schengen area for Vanuatu passport holders in May 2022, and as of June 2026, this has not been restored. This is a significant impact for applicants whose primary goal is Schengen visa-free travel. If travel freedom is a core consideration, applicants should verify the current list of visa-free countries for Vanuatu passports and rely on the latest official announcements.
