Information about Vanuatu for the Foreign Investor 
-  excerpt; 
"The introduction of commercial laws in the early 1970s added a new dimension to the economy; it led to the development of an off-shore finance & banking centre & a rapid expansion in the number of support organizations & professionals in Port Vila. The Finance Centre contributes considerably to Government revenue through the payment of business license fees, insurance, banking & trust company licenses, annual registration fees for all companies, stamp duties & other smaller fees. It is also a significant earner of foreign exchange through capital transfers, professional fees, interest etc."

Buying land and citizenship?
Sorry, buying land is not possible at all. For a start you need to be a citizen. Even then, you can only buy urban land, the rest of the country belongs to the custom (traditional) owners, a policy enshrined in the Constitution in 1980.  Dual citizenship: impossible. Vanuatu does not recognize dual citizenship, so if you take Vanuatu citizenship (10 years residence and other criteria including formal Government approval) you LOSE any other citizenship. Residence: You can apply for residence fairly easily, the simplest way seems to be to buy a business there or invest a sum in the bank there.
