    Corrections:
    3:50 Vanuatu used to do this, but since the European Council caught on, they tried to talk to Vanuatu about the issue since 12 May 2022, which didn't amount to much. Visa-free travel for Vanuatu's passports through the EU was suspended on 4 February this year!

      And even then, it's only the Schengen Area, according to a Google Search, Vanuatuan Citizens can still travel to the Republic of Ireland Visa Free (the Republic of Ireland is in the EU), there are also many other countries that sell passports (aka Citizenship by Investment) with Austria (an EU member) being one of them
      Edit: Well I just found out that Ireland ended their Visa Free deal with Vanuatu so this doesn't apply anymore
