Applications continue to be processed within very short deadlines. For example, the screening and due diligence process for applications takes a maximum of 14 days, extendable to 30 days. The rejection rate continues to be extremely low, thus corroborating the Commission’s assessment that the screening process is unreliable. According to information provided by Vanuatu, in 2022 and 2023, Vanuatu received 1988 applications for citizenship in exchange for an investment, of which only 27 have been rejected.
