What Is Corruption?
According to the Chair of Transparency International, François Valérian: “Corruption is an evolving global threat that does far more than undermine development – it is a key cause of declining democracy, instability and human rights violations. The international community and every nation must make tackling corruption a top and long-term priority. This is crucial to pushing back against authoritarianism and securing a peaceful, free and sustainable world.”
Every year Transparency International, the global coalition against corruption no less, release the Corruption Perception Index. The latest ranks “180 countries and territories worldwide by their perceived levels of public sector corruption. The results are given on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).”
The global average has remained stable at 43. For the purposes of this article, we have focused on the Residency and Citizenship by Investment Countries with a score of 50 and above as countries or territories with scores under 50 signify major corruption issues in their public sectors. Here, in descending order, is our top 10 least corrupt RCBI nations.
Vanuatu
With a score of 50, Vanuatu is level with Malaysia in 57th position but above the likes of Croatia, Jordan, and Kuwait in the 2024 Corruption Perception Index. It is 2 points stronger than its 2023 ranking. The Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment program is your $130,000 route to a life more pacific in, appropriately enough, the South Pacific.
Spain
Level with the likes of Czechia, Spain ranks 46/180 in the 2024 Corruption Perception Index with a score of 56/100. That’s 4 points lower than in 2023, although it’s not the only one of our selection to move downwards as we’ll discover later. Be quick and apply before the closing date of Wednesday, April 2, 2025 to secure a new residency through the Spanish Golden Visa.
