Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Vanuatu e-VisaYou need to get this visa online before you fly – it's not available on arrival. Apply online before travel | Jordanian passport holders must obtain an e-Visa prior to arrival. Apply through the official Vanuatu e-Visa portal at https://evisa.gov.vu/. The visa is valid for tourism and short stays; the maximum stay is not specified, so confirm your intended duration with the authorities. | Required |
| Passport validityMake sure your passport doesn't expire too soon – it must be valid for half a year after you arrive. At least 6 months from entry | Your Jordanian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Vanuatu. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need a clean page in your passport for the immigration officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank page for entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's a good idea to have a ticket out of Vanuatu – they might ask to see it. May be requested | Although not explicitly required in the database, immigration officials may ask for proof of onward travel. It is strongly recommended to have a return or onward ticket ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of sufficient fundsHave some proof that you can pay for your trip – like bank statements or cash. May be requested | While not explicitly required, you should be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. Carry bank statements or cash in VUV (Vanuatu Vatu) to cover your expenses. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any extra form when you land. Not required | No separate arrival declaration is required for Vanuatu. | Not required |
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.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your e-visa online
Go to https://evisa.gov.vu/ and fill out the application. Upload your passport bio page, a recent photo, flight itinerary, and accommodation proof. Pay the fee online — expect around $100 USD for a single-entry tourist visa. Processing takes 5–10 business days, so apply at least 2–3 weeks before your flight.
2
Prepare your documents
Print or save digital copies of your approved visa, passport bio page, return ticket, hotel booking, and travel insurance. Keep them together in a folder or on your phone for quick access. Double-check your passport validity — it must be 6+ months from your arrival date.
3
Arrive at Bauerfield International Airport (VLI)
At Port Vila's airport, follow signs to the immigration counter. Hand over your passport and visa approval. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation proof. Answer questions clearly — they're usually straightforward. If you're arriving at Santo-Pekoa International Airport (SON) instead, the process is the same.
4
Get your entry stamp
Once cleared, the officer will stamp your passport with the entry date and allowed stay duration. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — it shows how long you can stay. Tourist visas are typically valid for 30 days and are not extendable.
