What it means in practice

120 days is about four months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 28 February 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

How Vanuatu counts your stay: Tourist stays are up to 30 days from arrival, whether visa-exempt or on a visitor visa.

Before you go

Official details are shown in English.

  • Return ticket and accommodation — Before departure; Cost of ticket and booking. On arrival you must show a return airline ticket and confirmed accommodation or a local address. Arriving on a one-way ticket (e.g. to join a yacht) needs prior approval: passport copy, skipper's invitation letter, vessel registration, itinerary and a 20,000 VT fee. Official site

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

  • Passport valid for more than 6 months
  • Return airline ticket
  • Confirmed accommodation or a local address
  • Proof of sufficient funds may be required
  • Declare anything prohibited or subject to duty; customs rules are strict

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Plan to leave a day or two early. With 120 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
  • Extend before you run out. Ask the Department of Immigration and Passport Services in Port Vila before your stay ends: (+678) 22354.
  • Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Vanuatu. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.

Good to know

  • Use only official channels (immigration.gov.vu, evisa.gov.vu): the Department warns about unauthorised agents.
