How to incorporate your business company in Vanuatu

Vanuatu International Company (VIC)

Vanuatu comprises a chain of approximately 80 islands situated some 2,250 km north-east of Sydney, Australia and 800 km west of Fiji. The country lies between the latitudes of 13° and 21° and climate varies between tropical in the north to sub-tropical in the south. The total land area is approximately 12,190 sq. km. The capital is Port Vila situated on the Island of Efate. Population approximately 218,000.

Vanuatu is a parliamentary democracy, the head of state being the President elected by an electoral college. The position is mainly titular and has very few executive powers. The legislature consists of a single chamber, a 52-member parliament, for which general elections are held every four years.

There are two international airports in Vanuatu. There are regular flights to Australia, New Zealand and neighbouring islands. The country has a dualistic economy with a large smallholder subsistence agricultural sector and a small-monetised sector.

The development of the offshore financial centre in 1971 added new dimensions to the economy and it now contributes considerably to Government revenue through the payment of annual registration fees for all companies, business license fees, insurance, banking and trust company license fees, stamp duties and other smaller fees.

The offshore financial centre has also brought to the country increased employment opportunities, and an excellent infrastructure of telecommunications, banking, legal, accounting and other financial and commercial services.

Type of company for International Trade and Investment
Exempt entities underwent a transition to the International Companies Act in early 2012, leading to the repeal of the Companies Act (Cap 191) and its substitution with the Companies Act No: 25 of 2012. Consequently, the International Companies Act of 1992 (No. 32) is currently referred to as the International Companies Act CAP 222. The International Company provides for greater flexibility and minimal compliance.
