万那杜公民身份税务政策与零个人所得税 2026

一位加拿大科技企业家于2026年2月获得万那杜护照，随即将其咨询业务收入转移至海外，期望其每年$400,000 （约¥2,896,000）的营收实现零税负。然而六个月后，加拿大税务局对其全球收入发出补税通知——他的万那杜公民身份并未改变其加拿大税务居民身份。其会计师需在90天内重新规划其居住安排并证明非居民身份，否则将面临未申报金额12%的罚款。

万那杜对非税务居民个人征收0%个人所得税、0%资本利得税、0%遗产税及0%财富税。但关键问题在于：通过投资入籍项目获得万那杜公民身份，并不会自动使您成为万那杜税务居民，也不会免除您在原籍国的纳税义务。税务居民身份由实际居住天数（每年在万那杜居住少于183天即为非居民）以及您的住所地或惯常居住地的税法共同决定。这一区别至关重要——正是上述案例中那位企业家尽管持有万那杜护照，却仍需缴纳加拿大税款的原因所在。

万那杜投资入籍项目 ——这是一项于2017年根据发展支持计划（DSP）和公民投资移民计划（CIIP）推出的经济公民身份项目，无需居住要求、无需实际迁居、无需面试，只需向政府缴纳起步价 $130,000 （约¥941,200） 美元的捐款，即可获得万那杜完整公民身份及护照。

核心要点

• 万那杜征收0%个人所得税、0%资本利得税、0%遗产税及0%财富税——依据2020年1月1日生效的万那杜税法确认。
• 公民身份不等于税务居民身份。您的护照几乎不影响您在原籍国的纳税义务。
• 非居民（每年实际居住少于183天）的境外来源收入零税负；在万那杜境内产生的收入可能需要纳税。
• 截至2026年中，单人申请者通过DSP项目的总费用约为$135,500 （约¥981,020）（包含政府捐款、 尽职调查、处理费及代理费用）。
• 万那杜于2019年签署共同申报准则（CRS）；美国公民无论是否持有万那杜公民身份，仍须遵守FATCA及美国全球收入申报义务。

什么是万那杜投资入籍项目？税务政策如何运作？

主要有两种途径：发展支持计划（DSP）和公民投资移民计划（CIIP）。DSP要求$130,000 （约¥941,200）政府捐款，另加约$5,500 （约¥39,820）尽职调查及处理费——总计约$135,500 （约¥981,020）。CIIP要求$100,000 （约¥724,000）不可退还款项及$50,000 （约¥362,000）可退还款项（四至五年后返还），扣除费用后长期净成本约为$73,300 （约¥530,692）至$83,300 （约¥603,092）。两种途径均可在60至90天内全程远程办理，无需面试或迁居，即可获得完整公民身份及护照。四口之家通过DSP项目的费用预计为$229,200 （约¥1,659,408）至$244,200 （约¥1,768,008），详见 《环球法律专家2026年项目指南》.

现在谈谈税务问题。万那杜本身不对任何人征收个人所得税。年收入在750,000瓦图（约$6,000 （约¥43,440）美元）以下的个人明确享受免税，超过此门槛税率仍为0.00%。资本利得、遗产转移、赠与、财富：全部零税率。然而，大多数申请者容易忽略的关键点在于：万那杜的零税政策仅适用于万那杜境内。税务居民身份是一项独立的法律身份，由您的公民身份所在国、住所地及惯常居住地决定。您购买的那本护照？它不会自动切断您与其他国家的税务关联。

万那杜公民身份对外国人真的免税吗？

答案是：既是也不是。万那杜本身不征收任何税款：无个人所得税、无资本利得税、无遗产税、无财富税。境外来源收入——股息、特许权使用费、海外资产的资本增值——对于非居民而言完全不受万那杜税务机关管辖。 《2020年万那杜税法》 确认所有个人所得税税率维持在0.00%。这是真实的。

What's not genuine is the phrase "tax-free for me." That only applies to Vanuatu. US citizens face worldwide taxation from the IRS no matter where they live or which passports they hold. Canadians, Australians, and UK residents are taxed based on residence and domicile. Obtaining Vanuatu citizenship doesn't change your tax residency status in these jurisdictions unless you also sever ties—stop living there, formally deregister your domicile, spend fewer days than the threshold requires, and establish residency elsewhere. The entrepreneur in the opening scenario did none of that. He kept his Canadian address, his Canadian business contacts, his Canadian bank accounts. In the CRA's eyes, he remained a Canadian tax resident. The Vanuatu passport was ornamental.

Who Qualifies for the 0% Income Tax Status Under Vanuatu Citizenship in 2026?

Non-residents—those spending fewer than 183 days per year physically in Vanuatu—are exempt from income tax on all foreign-sourced income. Employment earned abroad, dividends, capital gains on overseas assets, royalties, passive returns: Vanuatu touches none of it. Vanuatu uses source-based taxation: only income arising from sources inside Vanuatu (local business, rental property in-country, wages for work performed there) faces any potential local levy. According to Stanford Knight's 2026 analysis, foreign-sourced income, winnings, and international capital gains escape Vanuatu taxation entirely for non-residents.

One advantage stands out: Vanuatu enforces no minimum stay. Unlike Portugal's or Spain's residency programs, you need not visit the country even once after receiving citizenship. The 183-day threshold applies only if you want to ensure non-resident status for tax purposes. Stay away entirely, stay under the limit, or stay longer—each choice carries different tax implications, but citizenship itself carries no maintenance requirement.

Can US Citizens Benefit from Vanuatu's 0% Income Tax Program?

Realistically? No. The United States taxes worldwide income of citizens and green card holders regardless of residence, domicile, or second citizenship. Vanuatu citizenship changes nothing. You still file Form 1040, report foreign accounts on FinCEN Form 114 (FBAR), and disclose foreign financial assets under FATCA. No tax treaty exists between the US and Vanuatu. If you're a US citizen, you owe US tax on your worldwide income above the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion threshold of $126,500 （约¥915,860） (2026) even though Vanuatu imposes zero tax. There's no foreign tax to credit because Vanuatu collects nothing. Vanuatu citizenship offers no US tax relief whatsoever.

Renouncing US citizenship is the only legal exit. Renunciation triggers the expatriation tax regime under IRC Section 877A: an exit tax on unrealized capital gains exceeding $821,000 （约¥5,944,040） (2026 threshold) plus taxes on deferred compensation and trust distributions. If you're a US citizen weighing Vanuatu citizenship for tax planning, consult a licensed US tax attorney first. Citizenship acquisition alone reduces nothing.

What Counts as "Foreign-Sourced Income" in Vanuatu?

Foreign-sourced income covers earnings and gains derived from outside Vanuatu: employment earned abroad, consulting fees, director compensation from foreign companies, dividends and interest from foreign banks, capital gains on sales of overseas stocks or property, royalties from internationally licensed intellectual property, and business profits from companies registered and operating abroad. Vanuatu taxes none of these for non-residents. By contrast, Vancis Capital's 2026 tax analysis notes that Vanuatu applies source-based taxation exclusively to domestic income.

Locally-sourced income triggers different rules: rental income from Vanuatu property, profits from a business registered and operating in-country, wages paid by a Vanuatu employer, and proceeds from the sale of Vanuatu real estate. While Vanuatu has no personal income tax, corporate entities may face specific reporting or withholding obligations on certain local activities. Imported goods and services incur a 12.5% Value Added Tax (VAT). Specific transactions may trigger government fees or levies. The Inland Revenue Department doesn't tax personal income, but it does collect through other mechanisms.

The Complete Tax Breakdown: What Income IS Taxed in Vanuatu and What Isn't?

Non-resident individuals pay zero tax on: personal income earned abroad (wages, salaries, self-employment), capital gains (profits from overseas sales), dividends and interest from foreign sources, royalties and licensing fees from international intellectual property, inheritance and estate transfers, gifts, and wealth holdings. These exemptions are codified in Vanuatu's 1 January 2020 tax laws and remain in force through mid-2026.

Vanuatu levies a 12.5% Value Added Tax on imported and domestically-sold goods and services. It's a consumption tax, collected at the point of sale—paid by the end consumer, not by businesses on their income. Foreign income earned by non-residents (those spending fewer than 183 days per year in-country) faces zero personal tax liability. Locally-sourced business income may trigger corporate tax or withholding obligations, but Vanuatu imposes no capital export tax, donation tax, or withholding tax on outbound payments to non-residents.

"Vanuatu imposes 0% personal income tax, 0% capital gains tax, 0% inheritance tax, 0% wealth tax, and 0% corporate tax on individuals—all listed tax categories remain at a rate of 0.00% as of 2026." — Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment, 2020 Tax Laws

Tax Category	Vanuatu Rate (Non-Resident)	Notes
Personal Income Tax	0%	No tax on foreign-sourced wages, consulting, or business income
Capital Gains Tax	0%	No tax on sale of foreign stocks, real estate, or assets
Dividend & Interest Tax	0%	No withholding on foreign dividends or interest income
Inheritance Tax	0%	No estate or inheritance tax on assets transferred to heirs
Wealth Tax	0%	No annual tax on net worth or asset holdings
Gift Tax	0%	No tax on gifts or wealth transfers during lifetime
VAT (Consumption Tax)	12.5%	Applied to goods and services consumed in Vanuatu only

Do I Have to Pay Capital Gains Tax on Investments as a Vanuatu Citizen?

No capital gains tax in Vanuatu—period. Whether you're a resident or non-resident, selling foreign stocks, overseas real estate, or any other capital asset produces zero tax liability at home. But here's the catch: the country where your asset sits will almost certainly tax you. Sell US real estate, and you'll owe US federal capital gains tax (plus state tax). Sell UK shares as a UK tax resident, and the UK gets its cut. Vanuatu citizenship doesn't shield you from foreign taxes—it just means Vanuatu won't pile on a second layer of taxation.

Your actual capital gains tax exposure depends entirely on where you're tax resident. If Canada, Australia, or Germany considers you a resident, those countries tax your worldwide gains regardless of your passport. The path to legally reducing capital gains tax requires establishing genuine tax residency in a zero-tax or territorial-tax jurisdiction and properly severing ties with high-tax countries—a process that demands careful planning and thorough compliance with exit requirements.

How Does the Vanuatu Investment Citizenship Process Work and What Are the 2026 Requirements?

Applications flow through a licensed agent to the Vanuatu Citizenship Commission under the Citizenship Act and Development Support Program regulations. Two main tracks exist. The Development Support Program (DSP) charges $130,000 （约¥941,200） for a single applicant; the Citizenship Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP) requires $100,000 （约¥724,000） non-refundable plus a $50,000 （约¥362,000） refundable pledge. Add $5,000 （约¥36,200） due diligence fees, $800 processing, and $17,000 （约¥123,080） to $30,000 （约¥217,200） in agent and legal costs, and a solo applicant pays between $152,800 （约¥1,106,272） and $165,800 （约¥1,200,392） under DSP as of mid-2026. Families of four see costs in the $229,200 （约¥1,659,408） to $244,200 （约¥1,768,008） range.

Next comes due diligence: international firms conduct background checks, verify fund sources, clear criminal records, and the Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit reviews everything. Expect approval within 60 to 90 days—no interview, no language test, no travel to Vanuatu required. Once approved, you receive a Certificate of Naturalization and a 10-year Vanuatu passport (renewable indefinitely). Citizenship passes to children by descent and lasts for life. Vanuatu allows dual citizenship unless your current country forbids it.

How Much Does It Cost to Get Vanuatu Citizenship in 2026?

For one person under DSP: approximately $135,500 （约¥981,020） base ($130,000 （约¥941,200） government + $5,000 （约¥36,200） due diligence + $500 admin), then $17,000 （约¥123,080） to $30,000 （约¥217,200） in agent fees brings the real total to $152,500 （约¥1,104,100） to $165,500 （约¥1,198,220）. The CIIP route costs $193,300 （约¥1,399,492） upfront but refunds $50,000 （约¥362,000） after four to five years, netting out to $73,300 （约¥530,692） to $83,300 （约¥603,092）. Adding a spouse runs roughly $50,000 （约¥362,000）; each child under 18 adds $25,000 （约¥181,000）. All payments go through regulated financial institutions in US dollars or equivalent, and source-of-funds documentation is non-negotiable.

Agent fees vary: some charge flat rates, others take a percentage cut. Due diligence fees are per person and non-refundable, paid directly to Vanuatu's government.

What Documents Do I Need to Apply for Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment?

Start with a current passport (at least six months valid), birth certificate, marriage certificate if applicable, and police clearance from your country of residence plus any place you've lived longer than 12 months in the past decade. You'll need proof of where your money came from—bank statements, tax returns, asset sale agreements, business records. Complete the application form, get it signed and notarized, and if anything isn't in English, hire a certified translator. The Commission may ask for more: educational certificates, employment letters, business docs, character affidavit. Incomplete applications get sent back unprocessed. False information means automatic rejection and potential permanent blacklisting. Document prep typically takes two to four weeks.

Vanuatu's Non-Residency Tax Status: Maintaining 0% Income Tax Legally

Spend fewer than 183 days in Vanuatu per calendar year, and you're a non-resident for tax purposes. Physical presence is what counts—if you're there at midnight, the full day counts. The Inland Revenue Department tracks this against immigration records. Cross 183 days, and you become tax resident that year (though foreign income stays untaxed even for residents). If you earn rental income from Vanuatu property or run a local business, you may file a return on that income, but foreign earnings remain completely off the radar. Non-residents with no Vanuatu-sourced income file nothing.

Here's what trips up most people: obtaining a second passport doesn't automatically establish tax residency anywhere. Tax residency turns on physical presence, domicile, and each jurisdiction's specific rules—not your passport color. If you're currently tax resident in Canada, Australia, or Germany, those countries still tax your worldwide gains until you formally exit their system and establish genuine presence elsewhere. Vanuatu offers the zero-tax jurisdiction; establishing it as your actual tax home requires meeting exit requirements in your old jurisdiction and proving real ties in the new one.

Do I Need to File a Tax Return in Vanuatu if I'm a Non-Resident Citizen?

No. Non-resident citizens earning only foreign income file nothing in Vanuatu—there's no income tax to collect from them. If you take rental income from Vanuatu property or run a registered local business, a return may be required on that specific income. The 12.5% VAT applies to sales and consumption, collected at checkout, not through annual filings.

If you hold dual citizenship and are a tax resident of another country—the UK, Canada, Australia, or elsewhere—you must continue filing annual tax returns there and report worldwide income. Vanuatu has no income tax to enforce, so the real constraint is your home country's rules, not Vanuatu's. Vanuatu does not exchange tax information under bilateral tax treaties (it has 19 of them, but they don't override domestic filing obligations). However, Vanuatu signed the Common Reporting Standard in 2019, which means foreign banks report your account balances to the Vanuatu Inland Revenue Department, which then shares that data with your home tax authority under CRS.

Red Flags: FATCA, CRS Reporting, and International Tax Compliance for Vanuatu Citizens

In 2019, Vanuatu signed the Common Reporting Standard agreement and began automatic exchange of financial account information in 2020. Under CRS, banks and financial institutions in Vanuatu report account balances, interest, dividends, and sales proceeds to the Vanuatu Inland Revenue Department for accounts held by tax residents of other CRS member countries. That information is then shared annually with the tax authorities of those countries.

Here's what this means practically: If you are a tax resident of the UK, Germany, Canada, or another CRS jurisdiction and hold a bank account in Vanuatu, your account details land on your home tax authority's desk every year. The UK's HMRC receives them. So does the Canadian Revenue Agency. Vanuatu citizenship alone does not change your reporting classification—CRS classification is based on tax residency, not nationality.

The United States operates differently. It is not a CRS member but enforces the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which requires foreign financial institutions worldwide to report accounts held by US citizens and green card holders to the IRS. Vanuatu banks comply with FATCA. If you hold US citizenship and a Vanuatu bank account, that account is reported to the IRS annually.

US citizens face additional reporting obligations. You must file FinCEN Form 114 (FBAR) if the aggregate value of foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 （约¥72,400） at any point during the calendar year. Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) is required if foreign assets exceed threshold amounts. Miss these filings and the penalties are severe: up to $10,000 （约¥72,400） per violation civilly, or 50% of the account balance for willful violations, plus potential criminal prosecution.

Can I Use Vanuatu Citizenship to Avoid FATCA Reporting?

No.

FATCA applies to all US citizens and green card holders regardless of where they live, which passports they hold, or where their financial accounts are located. Vanuatu citizenship does not exempt you from FATCA, FBAR, or any other US tax reporting requirement. Financial institutions in Vanuatu are FATCA-participating institutions and report accounts held by US persons to the IRS.

The only legal exit is renouncing US citizenship or relinquishing a green card—both of which trigger reporting and potential exit tax obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 877A.

Some advisors market second citizenship as a way to "escape" FATCA or reduce IRS scrutiny. That pitch is false and legally dangerous. The IRS has access to FATCA data from over 110 countries, including Vanuatu, and it cross-references that data with tax returns, passport records, and banking information. Undisclosed foreign accounts and unreported income invite civil penalties, criminal prosecution, and potential imprisonment. Vanuatu citizenship is legitimate for global mobility and visa-free travel, but it eliminates nothing about your US tax obligations.

Will Vanuatu's CRS Compliance Affect My Offshore Accounts?

Yes—if you are a tax resident of a CRS member country. Under CRS, financial institutions in Vanuatu report your account balances and income to the Vanuatu Inland Revenue Department, which shares that data with your home tax authority. A UK tax resident with a Vanuatu bank account has his account activity reported annually to HMRC. A Canadian tax resident sees the same reports flow to the Canada Revenue Agency. CRS applies to tax residency, not citizenship: holding a Vanuatu passport does not exempt you from CRS reporting if you remain a tax resident elsewhere.

To avoid CRS reporting, you must change your tax residency to a jurisdiction that does not participate in CRS (very few exist as of 2026) or qualify for tax-resident status in a jurisdiction and comply with its local tax laws. Changing tax residency requires more than acquiring a passport. You must establish genuine physical presence, domicile, and economic ties in the new jurisdiction, and sever ties with your previous country of residence—deregistration, final tax filings, proof of departure. Tax authorities scrutinize changes in tax residency and may challenge them if they lack substance or appear designed solely to evade tax.

Real-World Scenarios: How 0% Income Tax Actually Works for Different Investor Types

A British consultant earning £200,000 annually from remote clients relocates to Dubai and acquires Vanuatu citizenship. She spends 200 days per year in the UAE (establishing UAE tax residency), deregisters from the UK tax system, closes her UK domicile, and maintains a Vanuatu passport for visa-free travel. The UAE applies 0% personal income tax and she is no longer a UK tax resident, so her consulting income is untaxed. Her Vanuatu citizenship plays no role in her tax status—the UAE residency is what eliminates UK tax. Vanuatu citizenship simply provides a backup passport and access to visa-free destinations where her UAE residence permit is not accepted.

An Australian property investor sells an investment portfolio worth AUD 2 million, generating a capital gain of AUD 500,000. He holds Vanuatu citizenship but remains an Australian tax resident (lives in Sydney, owns property, has family ties). The Australian Taxation Office taxes the capital gain at the applicable rate (discounted if the property was held more than 12 months). Vanuatu's 0% capital gains tax does not apply because the investor is not a Vanuatu tax resident and the gain occurred in Australia.

What if he wanted to eliminate Australian capital gains tax? He would need to cease Australian tax residency before realizing the gain—spend fewer than 183 days in Australia, sever domicile, establish residency elsewhere. Acquiring Vanuatu citizenship alone does not change his Australian tax status or trigger any tax benefit from Vanuatu's zero rate.

A German entrepreneur establishes a Vanuatu holding company and relocates to Portugal under the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) tax regime, which exempts new residents from tax on foreign-sourced income for 10 years. She maintains Vanuatu citizenship for travel and Portuguese residency for tax purposes. Dividends paid from the Vanuatu holding company to her Portuguese bank account are exempt from Portuguese tax under NHR rules and are not taxed by Vanuatu. Foreign business income flows through tax-free for 10 years—but only because of Portuguese NHR eligibility and tax residency. The Vanuatu holding company domiciled in a zero-tax jurisdiction enables the structure, and the Vanuatu citizenship provides travel flexibility, but neither generates the tax benefit alone.

Scenario	Tax Residency	Tax Outcome on Foreign Income	Role of Vanuatu Citizenship
UK consultant relocates to UAE, acquires Vanuatu passport	UAE tax resident	0% (UAE has no income tax; UK residency severed)	Backup passport for travel; no tax benefit
Australian investor remains in Sydney, holds Vanuatu passport	Australian tax resident	Taxed at Australian rates on worldwide income and capital gains	No tax benefit; Australian tax residency unchanged
German entrepreneur relocates to Portugal NHR, Vanuatu holding company	Portuguese tax resident (NHR)	0% (NHR exempts foreign-sourced income for 10 years)	Vanuatu company domicile enables tax-efficient structure; passport for mobility
US citizen acquires Vanuatu passport, lives in Vanuatu	US tax resident (citizenship-based)	Taxed on worldwide income by IRS; FEIE exclusion up to $126,500 （约¥915,860）	No US tax benefit; IRS jurisdiction unchanged

The pattern across these scenarios is clear: Vanuatu citizenship alone does not eliminate tax. Tax outcomes depend on where you are a tax resident, which income you earn, and whether you have severed ties with high-tax jurisdictions. Vanuatu citizenship is a tool for mobility and access to a tax-neutral environment. Tax residency—determined by physical presence, domicile, and the specific rules of each tax authority—is what drives your tax obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Vanuatu have a tax treaty with my country?

Vanuatu maintains tax treaties with 19 countries as of 2026, mainly to prevent double taxation and enable information sharing. Here's what matters: these treaties don't erase what your home country requires. If you're tax-resident somewhere with a Vanuatu treaty, you still file annual returns at home and report all worldwide income. The treaty may shield certain income types from double taxation—that's the practical benefit—but it's conditional on both countries recognizing the same income in the same year.

On the reporting side, Vanuatu isn't bound by FATCA but does comply with the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). That means your Vanuatu bank accounts automatically feed data to tax authorities in CRS member countries where you hold tax residency or citizenship.

Can I live in Vanuatu permanently after getting citizenship?

Yes, absolutely. Vanuatu citizenship grants unlimited residency—no visa, no permit, no renewal hassle ever required. But here's the catch: you don't have to live there at all. Most citizenship-by-investment buyers never spend a single day in Vanuatu; they want the passport for visa-free travel and a tax-neutral address.

If you do stay more than 183 days yearly, you cross into tax residency. In theory this matters. In practice? Vanuatu's 0% income tax makes it irrelevant. Your wallet doesn't change either way.

Will acquiring Vanuatu citizenship affect my current nationality?

Vanuatu allows dual citizenship, so getting Vanuatuan nationality doesn't force you to surrender your original one. Your original country, though—that's where problems can emerge. China, India, and the Netherlands actively reject dual citizenship and may require you to formally renounce your first passport upon acquiring a second. The UK, Canada, the US, and Australia don't care; they let you hold multiple passports without issue.

Check your current country's rules before you apply. This is non-negotiable.

How many visa-free countries does a Vanuatu passport allow in 2026?

Around 90 countries and territories grant visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry to Vanuatu passport holders. That number used to be higher. The European Union revoked visa-free access on 4 February 2023 (formally ending on 12 December 2024), and the UK followed suit in 2023. Both were significant losses.

What remains? Russia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, plus most Caribbean and Pacific nations. The major gaps: Schengen Area, UK, US, Canada, and Australia all demand advance visas. If European or English-speaking country access is your goal, this passport won't deliver it.

What is the difference between tax residency and citizenship in Vanuatu?

These are entirely separate things, and the distinction matters for your wallet.

公民身份 是一种法律身份——它赋予您国籍、护照，以及永久在万那杜居住和工作的权利。 税务居民身份 则纯粹取决于实际居住天数：在一个日历年内于万那杜居住满183天以上，您即成为当地税务居民。

您可以是公民但非税务居民（全年大部分时间不在万那杜）。您也可以是税务居民但非公民（持工作许可在当地工作）。非居民公民对境外收入在任何地方均无需缴税。然而，如果您仍是英国、加拿大或澳大利亚的税务居民，该国将持续对您征税，直至您正式离境并满足其退出要求——万那杜公民身份并不会自动解除这一税务关联。

万那杜公民身份是否有助于数字游民减轻税负？

仅凭公民身份本身并不能。单纯的公民身份不会改变您的税单。数字游民的纳税义务取决于其实际居住地——无论是以实际居住、住所还是国籍来定义（例如美国以国籍为准）。即使获得万那杜护照，但若继续在高税负国家缴税，一切都不会改变。您仍需承担全部税务责任。

要真正享受万那杜的零税优势，您需要成为万那杜税务居民，同时解除在其他国家的税务居民身份。这才是关键所在。公民身份只是获得护照的部分。
