Vanuatu looks into revoking Andrew Tate's golden passport

Vanuatu authorities are considering revoking Andrew Tate's citizenship following revelations that he obtained a "golden passport" around the time of his 2022 arrest in Romania for serious crimes. Tate, a self-described misogynist influencer, acquired citizenship through a fast-track investment scheme in Vanuatu, which has faced security concerns leading the EU to revoke its visa-free privileges. Concerns over passports-for-sale schemes being abused by criminals and individuals with questionable backgrounds have been raised, prompting a closer examination of citizenship processes in Vanuatu.
