Preliminary Due Diligence. Before signing the Services Agreement, a qualified Anti Money Laundering Officer conducted a preliminary investigation into Bolade and Alika using international business and legal databases.
The check took a day. The couple had a spotless financial history: they had never been arrested, owed any taxes, or had their visa rejected. Bolade signed an agreement with Immigrant Invest right after receiving the check results.
Collection of documents. Our lawyers helped the couple quickly prepare the documents. They did not have to return to Nigeria. For example, our lawyers received certificates of no criminal records under the accelerated procedure in just 4 days.
Due Diligence. The first program’s phase is the Vanuatu Finance Department (FIU) check. We submitted documents for preliminary Due Diligence 5 days after Bolade’s urgent call. FIU completed the check in 3 days and reported a positive result.
Preparation of citizenship application. Bolade needed to confirm his solvency. Under the terms of the Vanuatu program, the investor’s balance must be at least $250,000. Bolade had more than $300,000 in his bank account and easily confirmed the required amount’s availability with a bank statement.

Application. We translated the documents into English and helped the couple fill out government forms, certify and apostille documents. Bolade made a mandatory contribution of 25% of the investment amount, after which we applied for participation in the investment program.
The approval of the application came in 1.5 months, in the first week of August. After that, Bolade contributed the rest of the investment. All that remained was to take the oath and obtain passports.
Bolade paid $86 as the naturalisation certificate fee, including each family member.
Taking oaths. We discussed in advance that the couple would take the opportunity to invite the Consul of Vanuatu to any country convenient for them. By this time, the family was planning to come to Austria, so we agreed to meet in Vienna to take the oath.
6 weeks and $170,387 were spent by Bolade to get Vanuatu passports
