Vanuatu: wat je moet weten voor vertrek
Het belangrijkste
- Check the correct visa category: tourist and visitor permissions have different durations.
Inreis en visa
The official portal lists a 120-day single-entry tourist visa and a separate 30-day visitor visa. Exempt-country travellers may obtain the appropriate permission on arrival; non-exempt travellers must obtain approval before travel. Both categories prohibit employment and commercial/business activity and list no extension.
