Full Vanuatu Citizenship for the Family. USD $165,000 — with $50,000 returned after four years.
Programme Overview
CIIP combines full Vanuatu citizenship for a family with a $50,000 investment in the Vanuatu Impact Fund — a sustainable development initiative supporting smallholder farmers across Vanuatu.
After four years, your $50,000 is returned in full. The effective cost of CIIP becomes $115,000 — making it the lowest net-cost pathway to Vanuatu citizenship for a qualifying family.
Stanford Knight & Partners is the exclusive Master Agent for the Vanuatu Impact Fund. The Fund was developed in direct partnership with the Vanuatu Government and is not available through any other provider.

Vanuatu Impact Fund spotlight
The Vanuatu Impact Fund — Exclusive to Stanford Knight & Partners.
Your funds are secure. The Vanuatu Impact Fund is independently managed by a team of experts under a capital preservation policy — we work hard to ensure your funds are secured for the life of the investment.
After four years, your $50,000 is returned in full, plus any investment returns. The fund targets a feasible rate of return of 5–6% per annum.
Your investment supports 300+ farmers across diversified primary sector activities including coffee, cacao, and timber — never exposed to any single sector. You receive independent annual impact reports detailing exactly where your capital went and what it achieved.
This is not a token gesture. This is a working fund with measurable outcomes and real beneficiaries. Your citizenship investment builds genuine, lasting change.

Programme Comparison
CIIP
Choose CIIP if:
you are a couple or family that benefits from the all-included $165,000 base for principal + spouse + two children under 18, and you value the redemption of $50,000 plus any investment returns after 4 years.
DSP
Choose DSP if:
you are a single applicant or small family seeking the lowest single-applicant entry point ($135,000), and you do not need the Impact Fund’s redemption feature.
It is deployed into the Vanuatu Impact Fund, supporting smallholder farmers, agricultural training, and sustainable development. After four years, it is returned in full.
No. The fund operates on a four-year cycle. Your capital is committed for the full term.
Annual impact reports include outcome data, beneficiary stories, photography, and third-party verification. All investors receive detailed reporting.
Stanford Knight & Partners developed the Vanuatu Impact Fund in partnership with the Vanuatu government. It is a proprietary programme not available through other agents.
