Background
Mr Hau, from Taipei, applied as a single applicant. He wanted a second passport quickly.
Main concern
Speed mattered most, but he also wanted to understand the passport’s limits.
Our approach
We explained from the start that Vanuatu passports lost visa-free Schengen access in December 2024, and he decided to apply knowing this.
Process and outcome
He received citizenship and a passport in about 3 months.
Adviser’s comment
Speed is Vanuatu’s strength, but its visa-free access has changed — that must be explained before applying.
