Visa requirements for Vanuatuan citizens information

Visa requirements for Vanuatu citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Vanuatu. As of 25 June 2022^[update], Ni-Vanuatu had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 103 countries and territories. Vanuatu signed a mutual visa waiver agreement with Schengen Area countries on 28 May 2015.^[1]
A mutual visa waiver agreement was signed with Russia on 20 September 2016 and entered into force on 21 October 2016.^[2] Obtaining a visa is now required for all 27 EU countries. The EU Council has partially suspended the EU visa waiver agreement with Vanuatu. This means that all Vanuatu citizens with a passport issued after 25 May 2015 are no longer eligible for visa-free travel to Europe. The European Council voted on 8 November, 2022 to fully suspend the visa waiver agreement with Vanuatu, citing risks posed by its investor citizenship program. As a consequence all Vanuatu passport holders require a Schengen visa for the bloc which is represented by the French Embassy in Port-Vila.
