International Company Formation is designed for clients seeking a credible modern Vanuatu solution rather than a generic offshore product.
VFSC's 2026 consolidated International Companies Act remains current. International Companies cannot carry on business in Vanuatu except in furtherance of business elsewhere, have a public file, and operate under a different filing regime from domestic Companies Act entities.
Vanuatu offers both domestic Companies Act entities and International Companies under a separate international-company regime. International Companies cannot carry on business in Vanuatu except in furtherance of business elsewhere and operate under a lighter filing framework, while local operating businesses use the domestic company regime. Coutts Consultants acts as the client's central project coordinator for international company formation.
We establish suitability and regulatory scope, prepare a tailored evidence and KYC checklist, coordinate licensed Vanuatu corporate/trust providers, attorneys, accountants, VFSC-regulated specialists, VIPA/immigration professionals, banks and technology or compliance experts as required, manage documentation and authority/provider queries, and identify ongoing licensing, tax, registry and compliance obligations. Best suited to international clients with a genuine Vanuatu business, investment, holding or private-client objective and transparent ownership, funding and supporting documentation. Any company registration, licence, bank account, investment approval, residence visa, tax treatment or other third-party decision remains subject to the VFSC, VIPA, Immigration, Customs & Inland Revenue, financial institutions and relevant professional providers and is not guaranteed.
