Our Take
Vanuatu on the CitizenX comparison set
Established route for crypto wealth; CitizenX requires proof of at least $250,000 net worth. Fast published timeline. Not a crypto-payment program; source-of-funds documentation still required.
Presence: No residency required to hold citizenship; biometric enrollment in person at approved locations
