A growing number of countries will now sell foreigners one of their passports - for a price.

A Vanuatu passport, MJ explains, is"so fast" to arrange , and that helps make it a popular choice. But Mr Kalin and others caution that Vanuatu has a reputation for corruption. As a result, Henley & Partners and others do not deal with the Vanuatu citizenship programme.

Port Vila is the capital of Vanuatu, and a city of contrasts. The roads are often flooded and scarred with potholes. There's not a single set of traffic lights, but congestion is worsening thanks to the growing number of shiny four-wheel drives. Mr Sope says it is a"betrayal" for Vanuatu to sell its citizenship, and points to the flood of Chinese investment in the region."The Chinese have so much more money than us," he says exasperated.

But for the mainly rural population the policy has been highly controversial since its inception in 2015.
