Vanuatu license for forex and CFD brokers

The Vanuatu Forex License is regulated and supervised by the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC). This license gained a lot of respect and interest in recent years mainly due to the low operational cost, combined with lenient requirements and tax incentives.

The beautiful Republic of Vanuatu is located in the South Pacific Ocean, to the east of Australia, west of Fiji and north of New Zealand. Although the constitution of Vanuatu doesn’t allow selling land to foreigners, new provisions of 75 year leases introduced by the government over the last decades, brought a lot of foreign attention.

The Vanuatu Forex License is actually a Securities Dealer license, and its application can be prepared and submitted by an international company or individual that must be a director and/or officer of the company.
