Recognition for Service Transformation and Regulatory Standards
The award acknowledges VIMB Services Limited’s commitment to moving beyond conventional immigration services by linking commercial outcomes with long-term national development. The company operates as Vanuatu’s licensed designated agent and has demonstrated that efficient processing and approvals in as little as 45 days can be achieved without compromising regulatory or development objectives.
VIMB Services Limited has been recognized for achieving top scores in strategic implementation and ethical decision-making, embedding accountability at every stage of the migration process. The company’s staff follows clearly defined procedures, while leadership consistently focuses on moral standards and transparent operations.
Transparency is a cornerstone of VIMB’s approach. Its website outlines its mandate and compliance framework with the Financial Services Commission. Clients and stakeholders benefit from clear information about processes and expectations, which supports trust and confidence in the company’s services.
Community Investment and Service Model Impact
The company’s service model connects each approved citizenship application to community projects across Vanuatu, allocating a portion of fees to initiatives such as renewable energy, climate resilience, and educational support. This approach ensures that business growth directly supports local development and creates tangible benefits beyond the citizenship process.
Consistent data from VIMB Services Limited shows business and community investment growth, demonstrating that the model is scalable and effective. The company’s initiatives have been noted for their reach, supporting international impact and local engagement.
Managing director of VIMB Services Limited, Daniel Agius, stated, “We have reimagined immigration advisory as a catalyst for sustainable development, with measurable outcomes that extend far beyond individual client transactions.” This philosophy reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance.
The CNO Future Fund and Industry Influence
One of the company’s most notable contributions is the CNO Future Fund, a dedicated trust that directs citizenship revenues toward infrastructure, education, and environmental projects. This mechanism changes the traditional model of government revenue collection, providing a structured approach to long-term national development. The fund has demonstrated impressive performance since its launch in January 2024, with its Net Asset Value (NAV) increasing by 32.6 percent and currently tracking at 6 percent growth per quarter.
The CNO Future Fund has attracted attention from governments in the Caribbean and Pacific regions, who are examining the model as a potential solution for responsibly managing citizenship program revenues. VIMB Services Limited’s framework balances commercial interests with development priorities and is considered a reference point for best practices in the sector.
VIMB’s operational model offers transparent pricing and supports clients through every stage of the citizenship process, including document preparation, legal guidance, and remote application completion. The company also facilitates access to visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to about 100 countries and supports clients seeking tax-neutral jurisdictions.
Industry Standards and Future Outlook
VIMB Services Limited’s recognition reflects its ability to combine transparent governance, efficient processing, and measurable community benefit. The company’s approach has set a new reference for responsible leadership in the investment migration sector, showing that citizenship-by-investment programs can support sustainable development rather than serve only transactional interests.
Alex Sterling of Global Recognition Awards observed, “VIMB Services Limited demonstrates how private-sector immigration advisory can generate public good at scale, combining transparent governance, efficient processing, and measurable community benefits.” The company’s work will influence industry practices and standards in the coming years.
