<p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">Vanuatu at this stage is the only island country in the Pacific with the program "citizenship for investment".</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">And the local scheme is unique - the only one of its kind in the whole world. All because to issue "citizenship for investment" Vanuatu can be for crypto currency: bitcoins.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">Other Pacific countries, Tuvalu and Tonga also used "citizenship for investment" programs to raise funds from abroad. But due to the different contradictions, local programs were eventually closed.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">The small South Pacific country of Tonga has not yet fully recovered from the corruption scandal associated with the business of "selling" citizenship and passports that erupted in the 1980s.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">In Tuvalu, a similar program worked in the 90s of the last century. The candidates needed to make substantial financial investments in the host economy to participate in the scheme. The investor's passports issued to them did not grant citizenship but allowed the relevant persons to enter and live in Tuvalu.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">Anyway, this region is still full of countries members of the British Commonwealth of Nations with excellent passports, in many respects similar to the passports of the five states of the Caribbean, where the programs "citizenship for investments" already operate.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">And an example of a successful Vanuatu scheme can inspire officials from neighboring countries to follow their Vanuatu colleagues in order to reap the fruits of initiative in the form of foreign investment.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">It should not be surprising if other countries in the region, such as Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu, launch their "citizenship for investment" programs. These states, according to experts, are the most likely candidates for the role of new players in the world market of services for granting citizenship for investments.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">Being citizens of a country with a population of only about 10 thousand people, holders of passports of the Pacific jurisdiction of Tuvalu could probably live like sheikhs, if the authorities of this state decided to launch their own program "citizenship for investments". It is necessary only with due care to conduct financial planning, so that inflation does not destroy a tiny economy.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">Special relations with the United States, which are enjoyed by Micronesia, Palau and the Marshall Islands, practically deprive these Pacific countries of any opportunity to launch their own programs "citizenship for investments": Americans hardly like this. Although experts believe that this version of the development of events is completely impossible to exclude all the same. </span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3"><span lang="EN-US">In any case, other Pacific countries should hurry to enter the market, because Vanuatu's citizenship for investment program is systematically consolidating an ever-increasing market share due to the continuous improvement of financial conditions and the emergence of profitable investment options.</span></span></span></p>
