Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid only for the period you plan to stay in Vanuatu. Airlines at check-in may ask for 6 months validity beyond your departure date — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Vanuatu | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at Port Vila and Santo airports. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it speeds things up if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least 50,000 VUV (about $420 USD) in cash, card, or bank statement. Immigration may ask how you'll support yourself during your visit. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you land in Vanuatu, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, you'll be turned away.
No visa extensions available
The 120-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Plan your departure accordingly. Overstaying can lead to fines and a re-entry ban.
