He tells OPP. Today, \u201cWe have systems in place for investment relocation plans and to present Vanuatu as a credible alternative to other nations who wish to attract high worth investor\u2019s funds. Besides, being a tropical paradise where English is one of the official languages certainly doesn\u2019t hurt!<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough in Vanuatu we are not as well known yet, as time moves forward the Immigration Plan will attract more and more interest.\u00a0 I believe that we, via our development companies and Melanesian Waterfront Real Estate Limited, are one of the best placed to assist you with viable passive-investment businesses \u2013 relocation \u2013\u00a0 and retirement property investment into the Republic of Vanuatu.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can offer an early bird opportunity in land development and land banking as well as developments in various stages of progress: some with full development approval some underway and some awaiting investor funds.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Butler has a new website to promote the various options marketed with a \u2018Plan B\u2019 property investment and lifestyle option. \u201cI am also now approved to supply passports and citizenship for Vanuatu $160k USD so look out the Canary Islands hears comes Vanuatu,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
The move comes as Vanuatu and Russia\/China has signed an agreement to allow for visa-free travel between the two countries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When looking to acquire a Vanuatu passport, most of Mr Butler\u2019s clients look to relocate a portion of their capital \u2013 if not themselves as well \u2013 and in the near future, there will also be a requirement for a local company, which enables them to continue business dealings internationally.<\/p>\n The package, therefore, includes an investment product, company setup, the required supporting services for local compliance, and migration services as appropriate we call it the international escape hatch\u00a0www.internationalescapehatch. \u201cThis then minimises \u201csurprises\u201d in the necessary dealings with local Vanuatu bureaucracy, ensures regulatory compliance in the various areas needed, and smooths the way for those seeking a Plan B solution in a gorgeous tropical paradise country with no personal or company income tax, no gift or capital gains tax, no death duties and no restrictions on moving capital in or out.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause we are essentially property and business developers and marketers, the migration options all complement the investment products that we offer for investors who are also looking for a migration Plan B.\u00a0 The main residency categories that apply for our clientele to be eligible for a Vanuatu Permanent Residency application are a foreign investor and landowner.<\/p>\n The process is that the applicant is issued with an approval certificate by the Vanuatu Investment and Promotion Authority (VIPA) as a \u2018foreign investor\u2019 and If the foreign investor certificate issued by VIPA indicates that they will be operating a business in Vanuatu, a business license issued by the relevant official body.<\/p>\n Mr Butler\u2019s visa firm has its own in-house accountant and lawyer to help apply for a VIPA certificate and set up a company registration, write any business plans, set up the related bank accounts and trust accounts, act as a \u201chands-off\u201d nominal local director for the international offshore company, provide company secretary support and all bookkeeping and accounting services. The minimum investment size under this category is around US$55,000.<\/p>\n The most straightforward way and minimum outlay to gain permanent residency under this category is to create an international offshore VIPA approved company domiciled in Vanuatu.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (i) one share (USD$55,000) of the limited partnership of the Sustainable Timber company (VIPA approved) which will provide a minimum projected return of 20% per annum for at least ten years.<\/p>\n (ii) 1-acre lots including cultivation of Organic papaya -paw paw farmlets (USD$50,000 ) which will provide a passive-income stream from fruit harvest of projected 10 to 20%+ return per year.\u00a0 The cost does not include stamp duty plus VAT tax payable on the land portion, and other associated costs relating to conveyancing fees.<\/p>\n (iii) Absolute waterfront land and bungalow in a small boutique 23 one-bedroom upmarket tribal in design is probably the best way to describe it Richard explains this project is unique as it includes the proposed scuba diving Academy along with an amazing feature of a sea deck reaching out over the top of the coral to give divers snorkellers and swimmers direct access into the almost untouched Teouma bay.<\/p>\n We now offer a package of passport and citizenship from $380,000 to $580,000 to approved applicants combining the investment in resort tourism with the passport and citizenship and providing a 24 seven management on-site with a 10-year lease back and a guaranteed 7.5% rental return.<\/p>\n The landowner category means the applicant has ownership of a property in Vanuatu with a value of 10 million Vatu or more (around US$100,000). A monthly income certified by a bank operating in Vanuatu of at least 250,000 Vatu (approximately US$2,500) per person per month included in the application.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are $75 million dollars in upgrades for the international airports to receive long haul flights from Asia and beyond from June 2019 on wards. With all this in mind, Mr. Butler has also set up a local Vanuatu-domiciled real estate company to facilitate investment real estate entry, which can assist with an exit when the client decides to sell on and move capital out of Vanuatu.<\/p>\n Vanuatu Permanent Residents are eligible to apply for Vanuatu citizenship after 10 years.<\/p>\n A Vanuatu passport allows visa-free access to 126 countries, including the EU Schengen zone.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"A](\"http:\/\/www.escapeartist.com\/vanuatu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/10\/Vanuatu-2.jpg\")
