Meet Our Reviewer
The forms, fees and steps on this site are checked by one lawyer, who reviews them and has no part in lodging any file.
Apply Vanuatu Passport is a practical guide to applying: which forms are involved, which fees fall due and when, and how the paperwork moves from first enquiry to decision. It is published independently. We are not a government portal, we do not accept applications, and we take no payment towards any citizenship file.
The guides are reviewed by Dr. Anatoliy Yarovyi. He compares what we say about forms and fees with the published requirements, so that readers prepare from accurate information rather than sales claims.

Dr. Anatoliy Yarovyi
Senior Partner
Dr. Anatoliy Yarovyi holds an LL.M. from Stanford University (2013), a Master of Law from Lviv University (2004) and a Doctor of Philosophy in Law. He has around 20 years of professional experience, including earlier work in the Prosecutor's Office and in multinational law firms, and his practice is in international public law and human rights.
Now a Senior Partner, he represents clients before the European Court of Human Rights and advises on freedom of movement and data protection. In 2021 he was one of 15 candidates for the position of Judge of the European Court of Human Rights.
What Dr. Yarovyi checks on this site
- Lists of required forms and supporting documents match those in the published regulations under the Citizenship Act [CAP 112].
- Contribution amounts, due diligence charges and other fees are the currently published figures, with the date of the last check shown.
- Guides say which payments the rules describe as non-refundable if an application does not succeed.
- Instructions make clear that forms are submitted through a designated agent, not sent in by the applicant.
- Timing is stated as typically 2 to 4 months after lodging, with no guarantee of approval or of a date.
- Claims about visa-free entry on the passport are current and attributed to the destination countries' own rules.
What the reviewer does not do
Although this site explains how to apply, Dr. Yarovyi does not apply on anyone's behalf and plays no part in the outcome. A designated agent from the published register lodges each application; the Citizenship Commission decides it. Treat this page and the guides as general information rather than legal advice on your situation.
