Vanuatu Citizenship holders allowed to apply for Australia Visa (PEV)

Subclass 192 – Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV)

​​​The Australian Government has committed to implementing the Pacific Engagement visa (PEV). This is a new permanent resident visa program for nationals of participating Pacific Island countries and Timor-Leste.

Boosting Pacific permanent migration to Australia is an essential part of our plan to deepen connections with the Pacific and contribute to a peaceful and prosperous region.

The PEV will grow the Pacific diaspora in Australia. It will enable stronger people-to-people links and greater cultural, business and educational exchange

The new Subclass 192 – Pacific Engagement visa will commence in 2024. It will provide up to 3,000 permanent places annually for citizens of participating Pacific Island countries and Timor-Leste and their immediate family members. This is in addition to Australia’s permanent migration program.


…In other words, this also means that anyone who is a Vanuatu citizen has not yet been deterred by the successful Covid restrictions within Australia and would like to immigrate to this country can submit such an application for a visa and residence permit for Australia, should they do so Fulfill criteria. Good luck!

Our company offers you the opportunity to acquire a second citizenship of Vanuatu. Vanuatu is a beautiful island and a true paradise on earth. We are convinced that everyone who has experienced this island and its peace-loving inhabitants will feel comfortable in Vanuatu and want to settle there.

However, we understand that there may also be reasons why a foreign investor who has acquired Vanuatu citizenship may want to live in Australia.

We would therefore like to encourage you to contact us to discuss which option is best for you. We offer you individual advice and support in all steps of the citizenship process.
