No visa on arrival
Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Vanuatu. You must apply and receive approval before you travel. Arriving without a visa means you'll be denied entry and sent back.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Vanuatu requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land, not from your departure date. Check your passport's expiry before booking flights.
