A second passport will grant you second citizenship and residency in Vanuatu. This means that you become both a citizen of your home country and Vanuatu. A second passport is usually valid for four to five years.

A second passport comes in handy when you are looking to travel, live, bank, operate businesses or invest in Vanuatu without restrictions from your primary government.

Reasons why you might want a second passport:

• You are looking to utilize global financial services - A second passport will allow you to enjoy more international financial options.

• You don't want to be held back by a lost or stolen passport- Sometimes while traveling abroad, you might lose or misplace your passport. This can be quite stressful, especially since applying for an emergency passport might be tricky. With a second passport, however, you will still be in a position to enjoy traveling to those countries that accept your other passport. Although you will still need to report and replace the missing passport, a second one will keep you afloat and not interfere with your schedule or travel plans.

• You want to avoid rigorous visa application process- Getting a visa is quite a frustrating undertaking. Not only is it time-consuming but also expensive. With a second passport you can have unrestricted entry to many countries even without a visa.

• Your home government is restricting your travel plans- Sometimes you might have a business that requires you to travel to a lot of different countries. If your government restricts its citizens from traveling, this could be detrimental to the success of your business. However, if you have a second passport you will not have that problem.​

• You wish to renounce your citizenship - If for some reason you feel that your home country has become inhabitable, getting a second passport is the ideal first step to take.
