一位上海科技企业家于2026年1月提交了万那杜公民身份申请，捐款金额为$135,000 （约¥977,400）。仅52天后，他便持有了第二本护照，享有 免签通行 90个国家的便利——无需移居海外、无需语言考试、甚至无需踏足万那杜。他的中国护照静置抽屉，国际商务出行已无需使用。
中国公民可通过万那杜捐献计划（VCP）申请万那杜公民身份，仅需支付 $130,000 （约¥941,200） 起的不可退还捐款（单人申请）。全程办理周期：45-60天。无居住要求。无语言考试。您无需亲赴万那杜。但请注意，根据《中华人民共和国国籍法》第九条，取得外国国籍将自动丧失中国国籍——此结果不可逆转。
万那杜捐献计划（VCP） ——万那杜政府设立的海外投资移民项目，外国公民通过向国家发展支持计划作出符合条件的捐款，即可获得完整的公民身份和护照权利，无需实际居住，万那杜法律亦不要求放弃其他国籍。
投资入籍（CBI） ——一种合法途径，申请人通过作出重大经济贡献（通常为政府认可的捐款、房产购置或商业投资），即可获得该国公民身份和护照权利，无需满足传统入籍的居住要求。
万那杜捐献计划是该太平洋岛国官方的海外投资移民通道，依据 《公民法》第112章 正式设立，并通过 《公民管理条例》第220号令 实施执行——这是一个独立的行政审批通道，沿用DSP项目架构，但申请文件通过公民委员会的中文处理渠道受理。自该项目现行版本启动以来，中国申请人始终占据主导地位。传统方式入籍万那杜需连续居住满10年，而VCP项目仅需经济捐款，即可在两个月内获得完整公民身份。
Three concrete reasons drive Chinese interest. First: visa expansion. A Chinese passport opens approximately 80 destinations visa-free or with visa-on-arrival. Add Vanuatu citizenship and you gain access to 90 countries and territories—Russia, Hong Kong, Singapore, most Commonwealth nations. For entrepreneurs and investors, that matters. Second reason: zero taxation on foreign-source income. Vanuatu imposes no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no wealth tax, no inheritance tax. Third: the entire application process happens remotely. You never need to leave China.
History confirms the appeal. In 2018—the program's peak year—1,800 citizenships were granted. The overwhelming majority went to Chinese applicants. Vanuatu eventually reserved VCP exclusively for certain markets, with Chinese nationals remaining eligible while other nationalities faced restrictions or alternatives.
Mainland Chinese passport holders face real mobility constraints. Europe, North America, Australia—most developed economies require advance visas. A time-sensitive business meeting in London means applying weeks ahead or missing the trip. Vanuatu citizenship doesn't solve that entirely (no Schengen or UK visa-free access), but it opens Singapore, Hong Kong, and numerous offshore jurisdictions where Chinese entrepreneurs handle banking, company formation, and investment activities. That's the tangible mobility gain.
Tax considerations create secondary interest. China taxes global income for tax residents and maintains sophisticated exchange controls. Vanuatu offers no income tax on individuals, no reporting requirements for foreign assets, no currency movement restrictions. For Chinese nationals establishing offshore structures or relocating operations, Vanuatu citizenship can anchor international tax planning—though you need independent tax advice, because Chinese tax residency depends on domicile and physical presence, not passport status.
Asset protection matters too. A second citizenship provides a legal contingency option: family relocation scenarios, business disputes, political uncertainty. Worth noting—Vanuatu has no extradition treaty with China, though it cooperates with Interpol and can detain individuals subject to Red Notices.
Single applicant: approximately $135,500 （约¥981,020） total ($130,000 （约¥941,200） donation plus $5,500 （约¥39,820） due diligence). Married couple: $150,000 （约¥1,086,000） ($130,000 （约¥941,200） donation plus $20,000 （约¥144,800） spouse fee). Family of four (two adults, two children): $180,000 （约¥1,303,200） ($130,000 （约¥941,200） base, $20,000 （约¥144,800） spouse, $15,000 （约¥108,600） per child). Each additional dependent adds $15,000 （约¥108,600）.
The Vanuatu Contribution Program requires no minimum net worth or liquid asset threshold for eligibility—applicants must demonstrate only the lawful source of the donation funds, not a broader wealth standard.
| Applicant Type | Government Donation | Due Diligence Fee | Total Government Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single applicant | $130,000 （约¥941,200） | ~$5,500 （约¥39,820） | $135,500 （约¥981,020） |
| Main + spouse | $130,000 （约¥941,200） + $20,000 （约¥144,800） | Included | $150,000 （约¥1,086,000） |
| Family of four (2 adults, 2 children) | $130,000 （约¥941,200） + $20,000 （约¥144,800） + $30,000 （约¥217,200） | Included | $180,000 （约¥1,303,200） |
| Each additional dependent | +$15,000 （约¥108,600） | Included | +$15,000 （约¥108,600） |
Takeaway: Vanuatu citizenship costs roughly half of Caribbean alternatives and one-fifth of European economic citizenship programs—making it the most affordable fast-track option for Chinese nationals.
No published minimum net worth requirement exists for VCP eligibility. You must demonstrate the lawful source of your donation funds—typically through tax returns, business ownership records, salary statements, or property sale documents—but no total wealth threshold. Caribbean competitors often require $250,000 （约¥1,810,000） or more in liquid assets beyond the investment itself. Vanuatu doesn't.
Chinese applicants preparing documentation should gather business licenses, shareholder certificates, audited financial statements, employment contracts, and tax filings covering the period when you accumulated the donation funds. Real estate sale proceeds require property deeds, sale contracts, and bank transfer records. Inheritance or gifts require notarized declarations and deceased estate documents where applicable. One mistake here delays approval significantly—don't rush this step.
Vanuatu previously operated a second program: the Capital Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP), which combined a $100,000 （约¥724,000） contribution with a $50,000 （约¥362,000） refundable pledge returned after four years. The CIIP is currently suspended (2026) and not accepting new applications. Chinese nationals must apply through VCP in 2026. If CIIP reopens, it would offer net cost savings for families of four or more.

You need identity documents, criminal background clearances, financial records, and health certificates. Core requirements: passport copies, birth certificates, marriage certificates (if applicable), dependent documentation for family applications. Any document not originally in English requires professional translation, notarization, and an apostille or consular authentication depending on Vanuatu's recognition status with China.
Criminal clearance is the bottleneck. You must obtain a police clearance from the Public Security Bureau covering your entire Chinese residence history, plus clearances from any country where you lived more than six months in the past 10 years. All applicants aged 18 and above need an Interpol certificate—a formal statement confirming no active Red Notices or international alerts. This step alone can take 4-8 weeks.
Financial documentation proves the lawful source of your donation funds. Acceptable evidence includes three years of personal or business tax returns, business registration and financial statements, employment contracts with salary records, property sale documentation with transfer records, or inheritance/gift declarations with supporting legal instruments. Create an unbroken chain showing how you accumulated the donation amount through legitimate, taxed, and verifiable means. If documentation gaps exist, the application stalls while due diligence investigators request clarification—costing time and credibility.
Health certificates from licensed physicians confirming no infectious diseases or conditions posing a public health risk round out the medical component. Vanuatu doesn't publish a disqualifying conditions list, but active tuberculosis, untreated communicable diseases, and certain mental health conditions flagged as security concerns commonly trigger additional review or outright denial.
The Interpol certificate—technically an Interpol status check or clearance—doesn't come directly from Interpol's Lyon headquarters. Instead, Chinese applicants request their local Public Security Bureau to query Interpol databases through China's National Central Bureau for Interpol, which then issues a formal certificate stating whether any international notices exist against them.
Processing typically takes 10-20 business days depending on your jurisdiction. You'll submit a request form, passport, and residence registration documentation to the PSB's exit-entry administration or international cooperation division. The bureau queries Interpol systems and issues a notarized letter confirming clear status. That letter must then be translated into English, notarized by a Chinese notary public, and authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the relevant provincial foreign affairs office—a chain that can add another 5-10 business days if you're not coordinating efficiently.
Prior international legal issues—even resolved ones—will slow processing significantly or trigger rejection. Any historical Red Notice, Yellow Notice, or Interpol alert requires full disclosure and resolution documentation: court records showing case closure, charges dropped, or acquittals. Concealing an Interpol record guarantees denial and forfeiture of all fees.
Vanuatu authorities accept multiple pathways to prove lawful accumulation, but documentation must support every claim. Business owners provide business licenses, articles of incorporation, shareholder certificates, and audited financial statements covering at least three years. Add company tax returns, VAT filing records, and profit distribution records—these link business income to personal wealth. For entrepreneurs operating through holding structures or multiple entities, corporate charts and intercompany agreements explain how funds actually moved.
Salaried employees submit employment contracts, salary statements or pay slips covering three to five years, personal income tax filings, and bank statements showing regular deposits that match your declared income. Senior executives should include board resolutions or compensation committee records authorizing any bonuses or special payments.
Real estate investors need property purchase records, sale contracts, bank transfer documentation, and capital gains or property tax filings. Here's the wrinkle for Chinese nationals: property sale proceeds above certain thresholds require State Administration of Foreign Exchange approval for outbound transfer. You must document both the source (the property sale itself) and the legal pathway you used to move funds internationally.
Inheritance or family gifts require notarized declarations, probate documents, gift deeds, and the deceased or donor's tax records showing where their wealth originated. Chinese nationals receiving significant gifts should also verify compliance with domestic gift reporting rules, though China currently imposes no gift tax.
Official processing time for Vanuatu citizenship through VCP is 45-60 days from complete application submission to citizenship grant and passport issuance. Reality is different. Budget three months total to account for document preparation and inevitable requests for additional information. Three distinct phases unfold: document assembly and submission (2-3 weeks), government due diligence and security vetting (4-6 weeks), and approval with oath and passport issuance (1-2 weeks).
During document preparation, you gather and notarize all required records, obtain police clearances and Interpol certificates, and work with an authorized agent to compile the submission package. Translation and authentication add real time—Chinese documents require notarization, then authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or provincial counterpart. Each document batch can take 5-10 business days. The agent then reviews your complete file to ensure all elements meet government specifications.
Once the Vanuatu Citizenship Commission receives your application, due diligence begins. Government-contracted security firms conduct background checks through international databases, verify identity documents, and review financial records. Chinese applicants with common surnames, complex business structures, or prior travel to conflict zones face longer processing—investigators must distinguish you from similarly named individuals or trace convoluted fund paths. Any request for clarification or additional documentation restarts a portion of the review clock.
Upon approval, you receive a citizenship certificate and must take the Oath of Allegiance. Remaining in China? This occurs at the Vanuatu Honorary Consulate or through a designated representative. Passport application and printing happens simultaneously, typically within 5-7 business days. Most agents courier the passport via DHL or FedEx, with delivery to major Chinese cities in 3-4 days.
| Phase | Activities | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Document preparation | Gather records, translations, notarization, apostille/authentication | 2-3 weeks |
| Submission and initial review | Agent submits file, government acknowledges receipt, assigns case officer | 3-5 days |
| Due diligence and background check | Security vetting, Interpol checks, source of funds verification | 4-6 weeks |
| Approval and oath ceremony | Citizenship certificate issued, Oath of Allegiance, passport application | 1-2 weeks |
| Total timeline | Complete process from engagement to passport in hand | 8-12 weeks |
Takeaway: Vanuatu offers the fastest citizenship by investment timeline available to Chinese nationals—roughly half the processing time of Caribbean programs (4-6 months) and one-quarter that of European residency-to-citizenship pathways (5+ years).
Yes. Document gathering, notarization, and submission happen entirely through your agent's local representative office or via courier. During due diligence, you only respond to occasional clarification requests—no in-person involvement required. The Oath of Allegiance can be administered by video link or through a representative designated by the Vanuatu government, eliminating travel to Port Vila.
Passport delivery arrives via international courier to your China address. Some agents offer in-person delivery through Beijing, Shanghai, or Shenzhen offices. The entire program is engineered for remote completion, which reflects Vanuatu's focus on attracting capital without requiring relocation or business disruption.
Denials occur for several reasons: failed due diligence checks, criminal history, inability to prove lawful source of funds, misrepresentation on the application, or security concerns. If rejection happens during due diligence, the government may refund a portion of the donation after deducting processing and investigation costs. Refund policies aren't standardized—they depend on which stage rejection occurs.
Common rejection grounds include undisclosed criminal convictions, active or historical Interpol notices, links to sanctioned individuals or entities, suspicion of money laundering, and inconsistencies between declared income and observed wealth. Chinese applicants with business operations in politically sensitive sectors (defense, dual-use technology, sanctioned trade) or government or Communist Party positions that create public figure exposure face heightened scrutiny.
Recourse is limited. Vanuatu doesn't operate an administrative appeal process for CBI denials. Judicial review exists only for clear procedural violations or arbitrary decision-making—difficult to prove. Reapplication is possible after addressing the grounds for denial, but prior rejection creates a negative presumption in any second review.
Vanuatu citizenship delivers four core advantages to Chinese passport holders: expanded visa-free travel, zero personal taxation on foreign income, simplified offshore business structuring, and a contingency travel document independent of Chinese government control. The actual value of each benefit depends on your specific circumstances—an entrepreneur conducting business across Southeast Asia gains more travel value than a retiree, while a high-net-worth individual with international assets gains more tax value than a salaried employee.
Visa-free travel is the most immediately tangible advantage. A Chinese passport grants visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to roughly 80 destinations. Vanuatu citizenship extends this to approximately 90 countries and territories, adding Russia, Kenya, most Pacific nations, and simplified access to Hong Kong and Macau for extended stays. One critical limitation: Vanuatu passport holders do not receive visa-free access to the Schengen Area, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, or Australia—the destinations Chinese travelers most frequently pursue remain visa-required.
Vanuatu's tax structure appeals to Chinese business owners seeking to minimize their global tax burden. The country imposes no income tax, capital gains tax, wealth tax, inheritance tax, or gift tax. A Chinese entrepreneur operating through offshore companies can structure operations to reduce exposure—but here's the catch: tax residency in China and elsewhere hinges on physical presence and domicile, not passport alone. Without independent tax advice tailored to your specific situation, improper structuring can trigger penalties in China or your country of residence, potentially erasing any savings.
Business structuring advantages flow from Vanuatu's established offshore reputation. Companies incorporated there benefit from streamlined formation, minimal reporting, and banking relationships across the Pacific and Asia. Chinese investors frequently use Vanuatu entities as holding vehicles for international investments. Still, transparency initiatives and Common Reporting Standard obligations now require careful planning to maintain legitimate privacy without crossing into tax evasion territory.
A second passport means optionality. For Chinese nationals worried about travel restrictions, domestic legal disputes, or political uncertainty, Vanuatu citizenship provides an alternative travel document and potential exit route. The value is hard to quantify—it's insurance against scenarios ranging from passport confiscation to family relocation needs.
Vanuatu passport holders can travel visa-free or visa-on-arrival to roughly 90 countries. Russia (90 days), Singapore (30 days), Hong Kong SAR (90 days), Macau SAR (30 days), Malaysia, the Philippines, Kenya, Fiji (120 days), most Caribbean nations, and numerous African and Pacific islands all grant visa-free entry.
But significant gaps exist. Schengen Area countries, the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea all require advance visas. For Chinese business travelers, this matters: Vanuatu citizenship eases movement within Southeast Asia and select emerging markets, but it doesn't eliminate the need for traditional visa applications to Western developed economies where much Chinese business activity happens.
Visa-free privileges can shift without warning. Recent years have brought new restrictions from the European Union and United Kingdom due to security concerns about citizenship-by-investment standards. Evaluate visa access based on current policies, not historical ones, and plan for potential tightening as CBI programs face mounting international scrutiny.
Vanuatu's zero-tax regime applies only to income sourced in Vanuatu and to Vanuatu tax residents. If you live in China, you remain a Chinese tax resident and owe tax on worldwide income—passport doesn't change that. Breaking Chinese tax residency requires substantial physical absence and usually establishing residency elsewhere, a process with its own complications.
The real tax benefit emerges through corporate structures: a Vanuatu company operating or holding assets outside China and outside your personal residence pays zero corporate tax. But when distributions flow to shareholders, tax kicks in at their country of residence. Controlled foreign corporation rules, transfer pricing regulations, and tax treaties all constrain what's actually achievable—professional structuring is non-negotiable.
Inheritance planning offers clearer wins. Vanuatu imposes no estate or inheritance tax, which simplifies transferring assets held through Vanuatu structures and bypasses probate in many jurisdictions. Chinese nationals with international assets can structure wealth through Vanuatu entities or trusts to reduce exposure in high-estate-tax countries—provided they engage estate planning advisors familiar with all relevant jurisdictions.
Four major risks shadow Vanuatu citizenship for Chinese applicants: China's non-recognition of dual citizenship, program instability, limited consular support, and reputational friction. The legal risk cuts deepest. China does not recognize dual nationality. Under Article 9 of the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China, acquiring foreign citizenship automatically results in loss of Chinese citizenship.
In practice, enforcement varies. If Chinese authorities discover the second passport—through visa disclosures, border checks, or legal proceedings—consequences can include cancellation of your Chinese passport, demands to renounce the foreign citizenship, or reclassification as a foreign national for legal and consular purposes. Any Chinese applicant must weigh this risk with advisors experienced in Chinese nationality law before proceeding.
Program instability poses a second hazard. Vanuatu's citizenship-by-investment program has faced suspension, revision, and international pushback multiple times. In 2020, the European Union flagged security concerns and threatened visa penalties unless Vanuatu strengthened due diligence. Vanuatu suspended the program briefly, then restarted it with tighter vetting. Future shutdowns or access restrictions remain possible as global pressure on CBI programs intensifies.
Consular reach is narrow. Vanuatu maintains few diplomatic missions worldwide and no embassy in mainland China (only an honorary consulate). Medical emergencies, detention, or natural disasters abroad mean you have far less consular support than a Chinese passport holder accessing China's worldwide embassy network. Vanuatu citizenship works best as a supplementary document, not a primary identity.
Reputational friction stems from how CBI passports are perceived. Some countries, banks, and employers view them as signals of wealth mobility or tax avoidance. Using a Vanuatu passport for banking, business registration, or visa applications can trigger additional scrutiny and documentary demands to verify legitimacy and wealth source.
Yes, multiple times. In 2020, the European Union audited Vanuatu's visa-free access for security gaps: weak due diligence, no in-person interviews, and rapid processing. The EU threatened to restore visa requirements. Vanuatu responded by suspending new applications and implementing stricter background checks, higher due diligence fees, and enhanced oversight.
The program resumed after commitments to tighter vetting took hold. As of 2026, processing is more rigorous than it once was, though future restrictions remain possible if international concerns escalate. Historical precedent is clear: CBI programs face sustained pressure from larger economies concerned about security, tax evasion, and national attachment. Any application submitted today carries the risk that program terms or recognition could shift during or after processing.
Five reasons account for most denials: criminal history, Interpol alerts or sanctions, inability to document lawful source of funds, material misrepresentation, and security concerns.
Criminal convictions trigger automatic rejection, particularly for fraud, corruption, money laundering, drug trafficking, or violent crimes. Even minor offenses or unresolved charges invite heightened scrutiny.
Interpol notices—Red, Yellow, Blue, or otherwise—create a strong presumption of denial. Applicants with prior notices must demonstrate full resolution: expungement orders, CCF deletions, dropped charges, acquittals, or completed sentences with rehabilitation documentation. Vanuatu cooperates with Interpol and will not knowingly grant citizenship to flagged individuals.
Source of funds failures occur frequently. Bank statements showing sudden large deposits without explanation, income tax returns revealing insufficient earnings to accumulate the donation amount, business records mismatched to declared revenue, or inheritance claims lacking probate documentation all trigger rejection. Chinese applicants with complex business structures must provide detailed corporate charts and fund flow documentation across all entities.
Material misrepresentation guarantees denial and permanent ban from reapplication. Vanuatu verifies identity documents, cross-checks employment and business history against international databases, and flags inconsistencies. Undisclosed criminal history, false employment records, inflated asset values, and concealment of prior citizenship or residency applications in other countries are common grounds for discovery and rejection.
Security concerns arise for applicants with connections to politically exposed persons (PEPs), sanctioned individuals or entities, or activities in high-risk sectors. Chinese nationals holding current or former Communist Party positions, senior government roles, or leadership in state-owned enterprises face elevated scrutiny as PEPs. Business operations involving defense, dual-use technology, jurisdictions under sanctions, or sectors associated with money laundering risk—gaming, cryptocurrency, cash-intensive business—trigger additional review and potential denial.
Acquiring Vanuatu citizenship as a Chinese national creates a direct conflict with Chinese law. Article 3 of the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China states that China does not recognize dual nationality for Chinese citizens. Article 9 provides that a Chinese citizen who settles in a foreign country and voluntarily acquires foreign nationality automatically loses Chinese nationality. Under a strict interpretation, obtaining Vanuatu citizenship means you automatically lose Chinese citizenship at the moment of foreign naturalization, without need for formal renunciation or notification to Chinese authorities.
该自动丧失条款在实践中执行尚不一致。中国当局并未主动监控公民获取外国国籍的情况，许多中国公民持有第二本护照而未被发现。然而，一旦当局通过以下途径发现外国国籍——向要求披露所有国籍的第三国申请签证、在海外被拘留并寻求领事协助、或在涉及国籍身份的国内法律程序中——当局可能注销中国护照、拒绝提供领事保护，或要求正式放弃外国国籍作为保留中国国籍的前提条件。
中国申请人面临一个关键抉择：获取万那杜公民身份，同时理解根据中国法律您已在法律上不再是中国公民，即使中国当局尚未发现或执行这一后果。这会产生切实的实际风险。获取外国国籍后继续使用中国护照出行可能构成护照欺诈。持有外国国籍时向中国当局寻求海外领事保护可能遭到拒绝。如果外国国籍身份被发现并被执行，在中国的房产所有权、继承权和商业活动可能受到影响——这意味着家族企业纠纷或房产交易可能触发国籍调查，引发连锁法律后果。
部分中国公民试图通过向中国当局隐瞒第二国籍来同时持有两本护照。这种做法存在严重法律风险：一旦被发现，可能面临护照欺诈刑事指控、领事服务被拒，以及在中国的商业、房产和家庭法律事务中遇到复杂问题。专业从业人员不能建议或协助客户向当局隐瞒国籍身份。此类行为将违反职业道德，并可能构成欺诈共犯。
对于考虑获取万那杜公民身份的中国公民而言，审慎的做法是同时咨询熟悉国籍法的合格中国律师和具有投资入籍项目经验的移民律师。在做出决定时应充分理解：根据法律，中国国籍可能丧失，即使即时执行尚不确定。
同时使用中国护照和万那杜护照出行会产生复杂的法律和实际问题。由于中国不承认双重国籍，获取万那杜公民身份的中国公民在法律上已不再是中国公民，继续使用中国护照可能根据中国法律构成欺诈。在实践中，部分人士尝试使用中国护照进出中国（以避免与中国出入境当局产生问题），同时使用万那杜护照前往第三国。这种模式存在被发现和承担法律后果的实际风险。
中国出入境当局可能在边检时标记不一致之处。使用万那杜护照访问国家的签证记录、关于海外居住的询问，或与国际数据库的交叉比对都可能暴露第二国籍。如被发现，官员可能没收中国护照、拒绝出入境，或将案件移交行政或刑事调查。
第三国出入境当局会造成额外复杂问题。部分国家要求旅客申报所持有的所有国籍，并要求持有该国国籍者使用该国护照入境。使用万那杜护照入境某国而同时持有中国国籍（或反之）可能违反该国出入境法规，即使中国国籍根据中国法律已在法律上失效。
通过万那杜贡献计划申请万那杜公民身份的官方处理时间为45-60天，从提交完整申请到获得公民身份和签发护照。考虑到在中国的文件准备、公证和认证，大多数中国申请人从初次联系授权代理到通过快递收到万那杜护照，整个流程需8-12周完成。如果您需要在特定日期前获得护照，请提前规划——中国无犯罪证明或国际刑警组织证明的获取延误可能大幅延长这一时间线。
万那杜VCP项目允许将50岁及以上的受抚养父母作为家庭申请的一部分纳入。每位父母作为额外受抚养人，需在政府费用总额上增加$15,000 （约¥108,600）。父母必须满足与主申请人相同的文件要求——无犯罪证明、国际刑警组织证明、体检报告和财务记录。受抚养父母获得与主申请人完全相同的公民身份和护照权利。
万那杜贡献计划依据万那杜法律合法，中国公民有资格申请。然而，获取外国国籍违反中国国籍法第九条的规定，该条规定定居外国的中国公民自愿取得外国国籍的，即自动丧失中国国籍。中国申请人必须认识到，获取万那杜公民身份可能导致根据中国法律丧失中国国籍。许多人持有第二本护照而中国当局未立即执行，但这不应被误解为法律上的容许。
万那杜不要求申请人放弃原有国籍——万那杜法律允许双重国籍。中国法律运作方式不同。中国国籍法第九条规定，自愿取得外国国籍即自动丧失中国国籍，无需正式放弃。获取万那杜公民身份的中国公民根据中国法律在法律上不再是中国公民，无论是否正式通知中国当局或上交中国护照。
万那杜护照可免签进入约90个国家，与中国护照的80个免签国家相比，约增加10-15个目的地。值得关注的新增目的地包括俄罗斯（90天免签）、肯尼亚（90天落地签），以及更便利的香港和澳门长期停留。实际情况是：万那杜护照持有人无法免签进入申根区、英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚或日本——中国旅客最常前往的目的地对万那杜公民仍需签证。
四口之家——两名成人和两名子女——需支付$180,000 （约¥1,303,200）政府费用：$130,000 （约¥941,200）基础捐款、$20,000 （约¥144,800）配偶费用、每名子女$15,000 （约¥108,600）（共$30,000 （约¥217,200））。加上代理费用、文件准备、翻译、公证和快递服务，大多数中国家庭预算$190,000 （约¥1,375,600）-$200,000 （约¥1,448,000）用于完成整个VCP流程，包括所有专业服务和相关费用。
如果政府事后发现您提供虚假信息、隐瞒重要事实或在申请时不符合资格，通过VCP获得的万那杜公民身份可以被撤销。常见撤销理由包括未披露的犯罪记录、伪造的资金来源文件、身份造假，或发现申请过程中存在但未披露的国际刑警组织通缉令或制裁。公民身份授予后被撤销的情况罕见，但如果欺诈或重大虚假陈述被证实，仍存在法律上被撤销的可能。
万那杜与中国没有双边引渡条约。然而，国际刑警组织成员身份和国际执法合作构成不同的风险。万那杜当局可以逮捕受国际刑警组织红色通缉令约束的个人，并通过多边机制或逐案请求在引渡程序期间进行羁押。中国公民不应将万那杜公民身份视为逃避中国法律程序的保护——即使没有双边条约，国际刑警组织合作和国际司法协助框架仍可实现引渡。
