US EditionVanuatu looks into revoking Andrew Tate's golden passport
- Andrew Tate, a controversial influencer, obtained Vanuatu citizenship via its investment scheme around December 2022 while detained in Romania on criminal charges.
- Tate's citizenship came under scrutiny due to his arrest for rape, human trafficking, and organized crime charges, prompting Vanuatu to review his passport status.
- Vanuatu’s citizenship-by-investment scheme offers passports to foreign nationals who contribute at least $130,000, but the programme has been criticized for security weaknesses that have allowed individuals considered a risk to obtain citizenship.
- Kiery Manassah, Vanuatu’s government spokesperson, stated they are "definitely looking into it" and will revoke Tate’s citizenship once files and procedures are in place.
- The controversy adds pressure on Vanuatu to tighten its golden passport scheme after the EU and UK revoked visa-free privileges due to abuses linked to security concerns.
