Children over 25 cannot be included as dependants.

No landing, language, education or business-experience requirement.
Spouse, children and eligible dependent parents can be included.
Vanuatu permits dual citizenship — no need to renounce your current one.

No. The application itself is fully remote, with no residency requirement afterwards. Only biometric enrollment is required before passport issuance — and it can be done in Hong Kong or via an on-site government visit, so a trip to Vanuatu is not necessary (see the next question).
Yes — biometric enrollment is required before the passport is issued. There are currently three options: (1) enroll in Vanuatu; (2) enroll at the Vanuatu Consulate-General in Hong Kong; (3) a government officer travels to a location designated by the client for on-site enrollment (travel and related costs quoted separately). We arrange whichever suits you best.
Vanuatu allows dual citizenship. Whether you can retain your existing nationality depends on your home country's laws — please confirm in advance.
Yes. Spouse, children aged 25 or under, and the main applicant's parents can be included; children over 25 must apply separately. Fees add per person — see the fee table and calculator above.
Currently no. The EU suspended Schengen visa-free access in late 2024, so a visa is required for Europe. We always share the latest mobility status honestly.
