Vanuatu

Entry requirements

This information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of the current rules for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Vanuatu set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Vanuatu Department of Immigration and Passport Services.

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Vanuatu.

Passport validity requirements

To enter Vanuatu, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 6 months after the date you arrive.

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Visa requirements

You can visit Vanuatu without a pre-arranged visa for up to 30 days. Border officials will issue you with a visa on arrival. You must have a ticket for onward or return travel. 

To stay longer than 30 days or to work, study, travel for business or other reasons, you must have a visa. Contact the Vanuatu Department of Immigration and Passport Services.

Vaccine requirements

Customs rules

There are strict rules about goods you can take into or out of Vanuatu. You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.
