Country overview

Mundo´s country rating is essentially a freedom index whereby our team of specialists rate a combination of freedoms which include freedom from violence and personal attacks, financial freedom from high taxes, business freedom from government interference and especially from socialism and communism.

Political stability: 10

Vanuatu scores 10 on Mundo’s list precisely because it virtually has no centralized government and therefore very little possibility of a totalitarian or communist regime in the future. The island nation has a system of customary constitutional protection by a body of chiefs. This keeps it organic, generally free from the big-brother-type rule.

Personal Safety: 10

There is no violent crime towards foreigners. Vanuatu is one of the safest places on earth.

Lifestyle: 8

Best beaches, diving, wildlife, yachting and fishing and a great social life. Unfortunately, the nightlife is undeveloped, for this reason we give it only an 8.

Taxation: 10

Absolutely none, zero, nada, niente. No tax on income earned outside or inside Vanuatu, no gift, inheritance, death duties wealth tax or anything. That´s right. It sounds impossible but the truth is that: in Vanuatu you are a 100% legally free of tax.

Investment Potential: 10

Vanuatu is booming because investment and tourism is on the rise. Thanks to the new airport, which will allow for bigger planes to operate and for new flight routes to major destinations, new opportunities are opening up for investors. It is possible to invest in real state, farming, tourism and other lucrative activities.

Total: 48/50 AAA Plus on our freedom rating
