What does it mean for me as a CBI investor that EU has extended its visa waiver suspension for Vanuatu?

Will I not be able to travel visa free to Europe when I get my passport? Does it have any other impact on my passport? Is there a risk that my passport will not be valid in Europe?

The EU Council has suspended the EU visa waiver agreement with Vanuatu. This means that all Vanuatu citizens with a passport issued after 25 May 2015 are no longer eligible for the 90 days tourist visa-free travel to Europe. As a consequence, Vanuatu passport holders need to apply for a tourist visa before entering the EU. Vanuatu passport is still valid and effective to enter the EU Schengen zone, but it nowadays needs to be combined with a travel visa.
