The Development Support Program (DSP) was enacted by the Government of Vanuatu under the Honorary Citizenship Regulations of the Citizenship Act (112) in 2017. The objective of the program is to replace its predecessor the well received Citizenship Investment Immigration Program (CIIP), stimulate the economy and keep the national budget balanced.
To facilitate and attract overseas investors, Vanuatu has passed and enacted all necessary legislation and regulations, changing its constitution to recognise dual citizenship, which was not recognised until the Constitution was changed by a two-thirds majority of Parliament in December 2012.
