Thai Immigration had caught a Chinese Citizen who obtained Vanuatu Citizenship (Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment), changed their name with Vanuatu and used a Vanuatu Passport to enter Thailand, but Thai Immigration biometrics caught this Chinese/Vanuatu Citizen (different names in the 2 Passports) who is wanted for billions in real estate Fraud in China
