Does it let its citizens rise and build back their homes or does it invite investors to help?<br \/>\nThe Vanuatu Government faced such a problem after cyclone PAM had unleashed its wrath on the island in the South Pacific Ocean. The government settled on the latter alternative and set up an Economic Rehabilitation Program in exchange for citizenship.<br \/>\nThis led to the launch of VRP-MENA as the only coordinator of the Vanuatu Economic Rehabilitation Program (VERP) back in 2015. This initiative was then mandated to process citizenship applications in exchange for investments in the Vanuatu economy.<br \/>\nAfter the termination of the Vanuatu Economic Rehabilitation Program in March 2016, the Citizenship Commission then mandated VRP-MENA to be their worldwide agent. They would still proceed with the \u201cContribution Program\u201d to the Development Support Program.<br \/>\nAre you wondering how to apply for citizenship through VRP-MENA? Don\u2019t you worry. We have put together all the useful and relevant information about this noble campaign aimed at achieving economic prosperity for Vanuatu.<br \/>\n<strong>Who Can Apply for Vanuatu Citizenship through VRP-MENA?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Government of Vanuatu doesn\u2019t place any restrictions on people of other nationalities when it comes to specifying of their citizenship. All applicants have an equal chance and are examined independently by their affiliations.<br \/>\nIn order to try your luck at becoming a citizen of Vanuatu, you need to know where to apply for dual citizenship. Even those who have no nationality can make an application to the program, provided they can give a proof of birth through birth certificates.<br \/>\nThere is no discrimination against anyone even though the opportunities available may be limited.<br \/>\n<strong>What If I have family Members Who\u2019d Like to Apply?<\/strong><br \/>\nFamily members are your greatest source of inspiration, and you definitely don\u2019t want to leave them behind when moving to a land of abundant opportunities. The following family members can obtain citizenship if they meet the set criteria.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Parents (either), provided they are aged 50 years and above<\/li>\n<li>Your children aged below 25 years, and not married. The children should also be studying at either a school, college or university. The children can be adopted, natural or born from previous marriages.<\/li>\n<li>For a woman applicant, her husband and children will be allowed citizenship.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Application Process<\/strong><br \/>\nApplying for dual citizenship is a pretty simple and straightforward process, provided you follow the spelled-out steps. Here is the mechanism that will let you expect to be taken through.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Step 1<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First, you need to submit a copy of your curriculum vitae and your passport, together with that of your family members. Each person aged over 18 years also has to submit a copy of their judicial records (if available). These documents should be sent via email to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:vrp@vrp-mena.com\">vrp@vrp-mena.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\" type=\"circle\">\n<li><strong>Step 2<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The submitted documents are then used by the National and security authorities to conduct a due diligence inquiry. An approval or denial is given within a week from the date the documents were received. This approval is free.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\" type=\"circle\">\n<li><strong>Step 3<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your documents pass due diligence and you have no criminal record, we\u2019ll start preparing your contract. You\u2019ll be required to submit a host of other documents to facilitate the process. These include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>A copy of the birth certificates of all family members<\/li>\n<li>Copies of national identity cards if available<\/li>\n<li>A copy of judicial records for the members aged over 18 years<\/li>\n<li>A copy of the marriage contract for those who are married<\/li>\n<li>A copy of certificate of achievement for those who have it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The delivery of these documents can be done in person by visiting VRP-MENA offices or using courier services.<br \/>\n<strong>Application Costs<\/strong><br \/>\nThe application does come at a price. This is always true for any good opportunities. The following are the minimum fees and expenses that you will take.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 425px;\">\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"425\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\"><strong>Category<\/strong><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\"><strong>Amount ($)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\">One (1) person<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\">150,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\">Husband and wife<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\">170,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\">3-member family<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\">185,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\">4-member family<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\">200,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\">5-member family<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\">220,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\">6-member family<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\">240,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\">Any extra person under 18 years<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\">20,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\">Additional person between 18 and 25 years<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\">20, 000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"310\">Each Parent<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"115\">20,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>When to Make the Payment<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen making an application together with family members, you are required to make the payment after you have been issued the FIU clearance from the State Law Office.
