Vanuatu Citizenship Agents & Applicant Safety

How to verify who is authorised to handle Vanuatu citizenship applications and recognise pricing, passport and approval claims that deserve extra scrutiny.

Applicant protection

Verify the Vanuatu-designated agent, not just the website

A polished international website, impressive office address or large sales team does not prove that the company itself is authorised by the Vanuatu Citizenship Office. The key question is: which Vanuatu Government-designated agent is legally responsible for this application?

The Citizenship Office publishes designated-agent information and also maintains a cancelled-agent list. Those official pages should be part of every applicant's verification process.

Transworld Leisure Holdings Limited is not a citizenship-by-investment agent and does not accept citizenship programme payments. Our role is to provide information free of charge and, if requested, introduce an enquirer to an appropriate Government-designated citizenship agent. We do not receive a referral fee or commission for that introduction.

Warning signs worth checking

Guaranteed approval

No private seller can guarantee that the Government will approve an applicant.

Unusually low price

Government has published prescribed pricing and an enforcement directive. Verify “discounts” directly.

Pressure to pay immediately

Artificial deadlines and “today only” pricing are poor reasons to transfer citizenship funds.

Secret or changing bank accounts

Independently confirm payment instructions, especially after any last-minute account change.

Outdated visa-free claims

Vanuatu citizens are currently visa-required for the UK and EU/Schengen area.

Diplomatic passport promises

Ordinary citizenship does not create an entitlement to a diplomatic passport.

No named designated agent

If the marketer will not identify the responsible Vanuatu agent before payment, stop and verify.

Advice to hide background issues

Concealment can harm an application and potentially create more serious problems.

No written refund terms

You should understand the treatment of every payment if screening or approval does not proceed.

A five-minute verification routine

Write down the exact programme

DSP, VCP, CIIP or REO—not merely “Vanuatu golden passport” or “CBI package”.

Write down the exact designated agent

Obtain the company and individual name that will be used in the Government-facing application.

Compare against the official list

Use the current Citizenship Office designated-agent page and cancelled-agent information. If uncertain, contact the Citizenship Office.

Check the price against Government information

For DSP/VCP, the Citizenship Office has expressly published a prescribed-fee enforcement directive.

Check the claims

Verify passport access, processing sequence and programme status using current Government sources rather than sales brochures.
