SOLOMON ISLANDS CITIZENSHIP INVESTMENT

While currently lacking a formal citizenship by investment programme, Solomon Islands’ emerging economy presents potential investment opportunities. Neighbouring countries in the region  that offer such programmes include Vanuatu. Situated to the southeast of the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu’s citizenship by investment programme, allows investors to obtain citizenship through various investment options.

SOLOMON ISLANDS RESIDENCY INVESTMENT

The Solomon Islands extend long-term visas to foreign nationals intending to establish residency, commonly for purposes such as business ventures, investments, employment, or education. The initial visa grants entry and residency for up to two years, after which an extension must be requested if further stay is desired. More favourable residency by investment programmes exist elsewhere, such as the various golden visa options in Europe.
