Global mobility and sustainable investments are increasingly intertwined, and Vanuatu offers a unique proposition through its Capital Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP)-Coconut Oil (CNO) Future Fund. This program provides a pathway to Vanuatu citizenship and aligns with the country’s 2030 Carbon Net Zero goals.
Vanuatu, an archipelago of 83 islands in the South Pacific, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. From pristine beaches and lush rainforests to vibrant local traditions, Vanuatu is a tropical paradise with an exceptional quality of life.
“The way I see it, the CNO Future Fund is not like other citizenship programs since it is also a commitment to sustainable development and a brighter future for Vanuatu and its citizens,” emphasizes Daniel Agius, the chief operating officer (COO) of Vanuatu Investment Marketing Bureau.
Vanuatu’s CNO Future Fund: Sustainable Investment Opportunity
The CNO Future Fund is a sustainable investment opportunity supporting Vanuatu’s renewable energy goals. Investing in crude coconut oil (CNO) production enables participants to help replace diesel in electricity generation, a crucial step toward achieving 100% renewable energy by 2030. This initiative reduces the country’s carbon footprint and promotes economic development through job creation in the coconut oil sector.
Agius believes that the CNO Future Fund is a game-changer for the nation. “It allows people worldwide to be part of a sustainable future while enjoying the benefits of Vanuatu citizenship. This amazing dual advantage makes our program unique globally,” Agius shares.
Redefining Citizenship by Investment: Vanuatu’s Redeemable Approach
Nowadays, investors are looking for opportunities that offer financial and social returns, and the CNO Future Fund meets this demand by providing a secure, redeemable investment that contributes to global sustainability goals.
Unlike traditional citizenship by investment programs, VIMB’s CNO Future Fund offers a redeemable investment option. Investors contribute $165,000, which includes a $115,000 citizenship fee and a $50,000 redeemable investment.
“The redeemable investment component ensures that participants are not just spending money but making a sound financial decision that benefits them and Vanuatu,” Agius explains, adding that the program is designed to offer real value to investors.
Furthermore, this investment is projected to yield 4-5% per annum returns, with full redemption after five years, giving investors financial security and peace of mind. Investing in the CNO Future Fund also provides an opportunity to diversify one’s portfolio with a notable investment.
Fast-Track to Global Mobility: Vanuatu’s Efficient Citizenship Process
One of the standout features of VIMB’s CNO Future Fund is its efficient and straightforward citizenship process. Typically, applicants can obtain Vanuatu citizenship within 60 to 90 days, gaining visa-free or visa-upon-arrival access to over 100 countries. This fast-track process is designed to provide investors with quick and hassle-free global mobility.
“Our streamlined application process is one of the fastest in the world,” says Agius. “We understand the importance of time for our clients and are dedicated to providing the best experience from start to finish.”
Safeguarding Family’s Future with Hereditary Citizenship
Vanuatu’s citizenship by investment program offers the added benefit of hereditary citizenship, ensuring that future generations can also enjoy the privileges of Vanuatu citizenship. This feature provides long-term security for investors and their families. Furthermore, the country’s low crime rate and ecological pristineness make it an attractive destination for those seeking a serene and sustainable lifestyle for their children.
“We invite investors to join us in this journey and be part of Vanuatu’s vision for a greener, more prosperous world,” shares Agius.
Vanuatu is not just a place to invest. It is a place to call home. The citizenship program allows investors to experience the best of what the country has to offer.
