Vanuatu passport sales

Vanuatu MP wants stricter controls on passport sales

This comes after revelations over 4000 Vanuatu passports have been sold under the citizenship programme since 2017.

The Daily Post reported that while there has been a surge in passport sales there has apparently been no substantial increase in the numbers of Chinese visitors in the past two years.

The committee has advised the Citizenship Bureau that it must tighten regulations on passport sales when granting honorary citizenship in Vanuatu.
