RIF Trust on Vanuatu’s Passport Rank
The RIF Trust Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment expert is Montaha Allaghi. The main thing that prospective new Vanuatu nationals want to know is what the Vanuatu passport visa-free countries are.
RIF Trust’s Vanuatu specialist recommends those contemplating investing in Vanuatu citizenship to check out our Passport Index, where ““the passport rank combines the number of visa-free, visa-on-arrival, and eVisa countries.””
“You should examine the Vanuatu Passport Ranking. Here we interpret Vanuatu passport visa-free countries in two different ways. The aforementioned passport rank is one and visa-free destinations by themselves, the second. Vanuatu offers the world’s 44th strongest travel document and you become eligible for this passport via the Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Program.”
Montaha ends with: “In this article, you will discover an overview of the Vanuatu passport, revealing the countries you can visit minus a visa, the destinations requiring a visa on arrival, those requesting an eVisa, and ones stipulating that you apply for a visa in advance of your trip.”

Residency and Citizenship by Investment Second Passport Alternatives Part 1
The 117 Turkish passport visa-free countries will enhance your business and leisure travel. Yet you should be aware that there are stronger passports available via a new residency or second citizenship. There are 3 factors to bear in mind, namely program prices, processing times, and naturalization periods.
There are two key advantages of the Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Program. The minimum investment required is a mere $130,000. It also only takes 2 to 3 months of processing before you become a Vanuatu national and eligible for its passport.
However, you may prefer to pay more and wait longer for greater benefits. The Turkish Citizenship by Investment process takes 4-6 months. It costs a minimum $400,000 and allows you to apply for the 37th-ranked Turkish passport (137/199).
Take a voyage of discovery in the Eastern Caribbean where processing time across the programs takes from 6-12 months. Here, $200,000 Dominica Citizenship by Investment allows you to qualify for the 23rd-placed Dominica passport (156/199). In 21st spot is the St Lucia passport which you can acquire with a $240,000 investment in St Lucia Citizenship by Investment.
Next, there’s the Grenada passport (160/199), one slot above St Lucia, available via a $235,000 Grenada Citizenship by Investment. Also in the region is the $230,000 Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment, enabling you to secure the 19th-positioned Antigua and Barbuda passport (161/199). Completing the Caribbean quintet , the minimum for St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment is $250,000, leading to the 16th-placed St Kitts and Nevis passport (166/199).
RCBI Second Passport Alternatives Part 2
Invest at least €600,000 in Maltese Exceptional Investor Naturalization (MEIN) to qualify for a travel document rated the 8th best, the Maltese passport (176/199). You become eligible for the 7th most powerful travel document, the Canadian passport (177/199), following 5 years naturalizing after investing in the C$275,000 Canada Start-up Visa.
In 6th place you’ll find the UK passport and the US passport (178/199). Naturalize in 5 years via the £200,000 UK Innovator Founder Visa. The length of time to citizenship is equal by investing no less than $800,000 in the US EB-5 Investor Visa.
2 passports sharing 3rd place are the Greek passport and the Portuguese passport, ensuring to 181 visa-free destinations. The €250,000 Greek Golden Visa results in Greek citizenship after 7 years of naturalization while it takes 5 years from applying for the €325,000 Portuguese Golden Visa before you become a Portuguese national.
The number one travel document in the world is the Spanish passport, as it facilitates your visit to 183 visa-free countries. You naturalize as a Spanish citizen after 10 years (or 2 if you’re from Latin America or the Philippines). Join the rush as the final day to apply for the €350,000 Spanish Golden Visa is Wednesday, April 2, 2025 as the government closes the program the day after.
