Visa & Entry Requirements

Citizens from all Commonwealth countries, European Economic Community member countries, the U.S, Canada, and UK and Ireland, as well as many other countries do not require a visa to visit Vanuatu. However, all visitors must hold a passport that has at least 6 months validity beyond your intended stay. You may be required to show immigration officials that you have return or onward tickets and adequate means of support and accommodation upon entering Vanuatu. Tourists are granted a 30 day stay on arrival and this can be extended on a monthly basis for up to 4 months.

There is an international departure tax of 3000 vatu per person (over the age of 12) which is included in airfares. A separate provincial tax of 200 vatu is payable for departures from Port Vila (Bauerfield), Emae (Siwo Airport), Tongoa (Pele Airport), Epi (Valesdir and Laman Bay Airport), and Espiritu Sant (Pekoa Airport). This VUV200 is not included in airfares so must be paid separately before travel.

As entry requirements may change from time to time it is strongly advised that you check with the department of foreign affairs or your local consulate or embassy for the current requirements.
