Niue

While Niue presently lacks a structured citizenship or residency by investment programme, savvy investors have the opportunity to explore alternative avenues to forge a connection with this idyllic Pacific destination.

NIUE CITIZENSHIP INVESTMENT

As of now, Niue does not offer a citizenship by investment (CBI) programme. Niue does not issue their own passport, as all Niueans are New Zealand citizens. Therefore, there is no direct Niue citizenship by investment programme. Those looking for a direct CBI programme will need to consider other nations. The closest island offering a citizenship investment option is Vanuatu where it is possible to apply for a second passport via government-approved investment avenues. 

NIUE RESIDENCY INVESTMENT

Niue does also not offer a residency by investment programme, and residency options in general for foreign investors are limited. Exploring alternative options, investors may find some of the European Golden Visa programmes more favourable. Malta’s Investor Visa is a popular choice, providing a structured path for a second residency through strategic investments.

NIUE PASSPORT STRENGTH AND RANKING

Niue does not have a formal passport ranking, as it is a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand. This means Niuean citizens are effectively New Zealand passport holders. New Zealand holds 26th place on La Vida’s Global Passport Ranking, having visa-free access to 86.8% of countries, encompassing 91.6% of global travel.
