Why Vanuatu

A distinctive Pacific market

Vanuatu offers opportunities across tourism, hospitality, property, agriculture, services and selected infrastructure-related activities. Every proposal should be evaluated on its commercial merits, regulatory requirements, location and risk profile.

Independent review matters

Investors should obtain legal, accounting, tax, planning, environmental and technical advice appropriate to the transaction. Transworld can help coordinate introductions; the final decision remains yours.

Official Vanuatu information for investors and applicants

The safest way to evaluate a Vanuatu opportunity is to separate official requirements from sales material. Foreign investors, company founders and citizenship applicants should verify the current rules with the responsible Vanuatu authority before committing funds.

Foreign investment

The Vanuatu Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (VFIPA) states that obtaining a Foreign Investment Registration Certificate (FIRC) is the first step for a foreign investor doing business in Vanuatu.

VFIPA — Investment approval ↗

Companies & business

The Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) administers company registration. Foreign-owned businesses may also need VFIPA approval and the relevant business licence.

VFSC — Register a local company ↗

Citizenship

The Vanuatu Citizenship Office publishes recognised citizenship categories, Government fee information, designated-agent listings and programme notices.
