The Vice-President must be a natural born citizen of the United States.

The final paragraph of the twelfth amendment reads:

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Therefore, the Vice-President must be constitutionally eligible for the Presidency. These requirements are that they must be a natural born citizen of the United States, that they be no less than thirty five years old, and that they have been a resident of the United States for at least fourteen years.

What is the citizenship requirements for a person to become the vice president?

Although the U.S. Constitution does not spell out specific qualifications to be Vice President of the United States, most Constitutional experts believe that the Vice President must meet the same requirements as those to become President: 35 years of age, a natural-born US citizen and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years. Since all Vice Presidents to date have met these requirements, there has never been a challenge to this.

Can the vice president after serving 8 yrs with the president run with a new presidential candidate ie hillarybiden ticket?

yes, that would be legal The office of the U.S. Vice President has no bearing on the term limits of the President that were established in 1952 with the ratification of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. If someone were to serve five full terms as Vice President, for example, he/she would still be eligible to be elected President twice. The only way that the term limits affect the Vice Presidency is that the Constitution requires that in order to run for Vice President, one must be eligible to be President. Therefore, someone who has been elected President twice could not run for Vice President. (There are some who believe that the presidential eligibility requirements for the vice presidency are only the age, citizenship and residency requirements and that having been elected President twice does not prohibit someone from running for Vice President. The opportunity to settle the debate in the courts has never come up.)
