Vanuatu Passport Visa-free Travel 2023 Update
Over the past number of years, the Vanuatu government has been successfully working on expanding its list of Visa-free countries. Since 2015, Vanuatuan passport holders have Visa-free access to all Schengen Area countries, and since late October 2016, they can also travel to Russia without requiring a Visa. According to February 2019 news reports, the Vanuatuan government is also negotiating a visa waiver agreement with China with both governments hoping to grant mutual Visa-free access. As countries are continually negotiating travel agreements, the visa-free countries list for Vanuatu is evolving all the time. Keep an eye on this website for the most up-to-date information and the most current visa-free countries lists.
