Ed Sheeran is very eager to acquire a New Zealander citizenship because there are a lot of things he loves about the country where sheep is more than the people's population. In order to become a citizen of the country, he needs to pass the test that will be given by the country's Prime Minister.

Last week, the British singer documented a video message for the New Zealanders prior to his scheduled March and April concert in the country. He said in a recorded video through one of New Zealand's local radio station, ZM, "Hey New Zealand I can't wait to see you very soon, I'm not yet a citizen of New Zealand but I'm working on it – hook me up prime minister, please."

In response to his plea, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern recorded her own message for Sheeran with a couple of questions in connection with the country. She introduced herself first and started asking the "Shape of You" singer. He was questioned if he likes pineapple lumps and does know it. The second question was if he is willing to wear jandals and again if he knows what they are. The last and most important question was if he is willing to make New Zealand his home, the Newshub reports.

The prime minister's last query is relevant because her administration holds back on foreign entrepreneurs who purchase investment properties in New Zealand. The campaign will also empower the foundations on a New Zealand citizenship acquisition under the investor classification. This is in lieu of billionaire Peter Thiel's (Donald Trump's adviser) case, in which he was granted a fast-tracked citizenship after a 12-day only stay in the country, as reported by The Guardian.

This gave him the opportunity to purchase various multi-million properties in the country even if he mentioned that he has no plans of living in New Zealand. Government officials justified Thiel's unusual route to citizenship by citing that he is a "good ambassador for New Zealand" and that he would provide support to New Zealand startups in Silicon Valley.
