As published on: abc.net.au, Friday 11 April, 2025.

Vanuatu’s government is making changes to its 'Citizenship by Investment program' and is warning its international agents to comply with the new directives.

The country's golden passport scheme has in the past been criticised for being corrupt with lax checks on applicants, resulting in passports being issued to international criminals.

"The citizenship by Investment program is a very important program to the Government of Vanuatu," said Government's Public relation officer, Kiery Manassah.

"I am told that alot of money that came into the treasury has not been receipted," he added.
