Background
Mr Hong, from Shenzhen, applied with his wife. He wanted a second passport and to understand the local tax environment.
Main concern
He wasn’t clear on Vanuatu’s tax arrangements.
Our approach
We explained that Vanuatu levies no personal income, capital gains or inheritance tax, and suggested separate tax advice for his situation.
Process and outcome
He received his passport in about 3 months.
Adviser’s comment
Tax is one factor in choosing a second status, but it must be assessed with your overall situation.
