While Vanuatu can compete with Carribean corporate IPs, it cannot change every few months," says Arton Capital MD.

Arton Capital's Singapore based Executive Director Philippe May believes that Vanuatu's nationality programme could be a serious candidate for membership in the Carribean if they could only put themselves in order. The geographical position is very favourable for Asiatic investments and there is no Pacific area. Correctly evaluated, a Vanuatu CP can compete with incumbent Carribean programs," May said, but added that the shortage of security and a uniform formal stance on the issue is worrying.

"The Pacific island state has a blended records when it comes to[citizenship investment programs]," he said to the Vanuatu's Daily Post, pointing to a success story of "many scams, some crimes and just a few real programs". It' story, but gives you an impression of what went wrong," said May, referring to a Griffith University document that engineered a collection of malicious dealings in the Pacific nationality group.

The current system is preventing foreigners from Vanuatu from serving as officials for Vanuatu's nationality programmes, which is a big barrier to May's work. The Vanuatu Information Centre (VIC) President Geoffrey Bonds is outraged by the testimony of May. "To be fair to business and the Vanuatu Civic Commission, the Daily Post and the Vila Times are clearly mistaken in some areas of their testimony.

It is sad that an extremely responsible journalism stance is damaging Vanuatu, his government, his nationality programme and then his staff," said Mr Bondt in an e-mail to Investment Migration Insider. "Apart from this, all programmes to promote overall nationality have some minor flaws or had some on their past, as do all expanding industry.

Vanuatu, however, has a first-class nationality programme with the Development Support Programme (DSP). Unfortunately, the programme was badly advertised and ignored and usually only generates its major application from China. That is now changing," Mr Bondt went on to refer to the recent agreement between the VIC and Harvey Attorneys Group (HLG), the Vanuatu based legal practice that commissioned them to promote the DSP Nationality Programme worldwide.

Acknowledging the increasing interest internationally in the programme and the fact that it is supported by incumbent companies such as Hitachi as proof of the programme's credibility and upliftment. Track investment migration insiders on the platforms of your choice:
