Is an Entry Document Required for Vanuatu?

Yes. Every traveller from Vanuatu must hold a valid electronic Travel Authorisation. This is a mandatory requirement for all visitors, even those coming for very short holidays or business meetings.

Checklist for Success

Have these items ready before you start your digital request:

• Vanuatu passport with at least 6 months validity.
• Recent digital photo of your face.
• Copies of your hotel or resort confirmation.
• Accurate flight arrival and departure times.

Travel Categories

Tourism

For beach holidays and exploring the natural parks.

Business

For commercial meetings or visiting local partners.

Transit

For those stopping over for a few hours between flights.

Stay and Validity Info

The length of time you can stay is generally determined by your travel plans. It is important to look at the validity details to understand how the system works. Most permits are for a single entry only.

Costs and Fees

The fees are calculated based on several factors, including the type of permit and how fast you need it. Since prices can change, we recommend checking the latest fee schedule before you begin your application.

Processing Speed Choices

You can choose from three main processing levels:

Application Form Summary

The form asks for basic details about who you are and where you are staying. You will need to upload your passport scan and photo. Once the payment is made, the application is automatically sent to the relevant authorities for review.

Checking Your Progress

Once submitted, you don't have to guess. Use your unique reference number and passport ID to check the status online. You will receive an email as soon as a decision is reached on your application.

Why Applications Fail

Most issues are caused by incorrect passport numbers or expired documents. If your photo is too dark or your hotel booking is not confirmed, the application may be put on hold. Check the required documents carefully to avoid this.

Handling Expired Permits

If your permit expires while you are in the islands, you must seek an extension immediately. Contact the immigration office to avoid being fined. If an extension isn't possible, you will need to arrange to leave the country before the expiry date.

Tips for a Better Application

Ensure your internet connection is stable when uploading files. Double-check that your names are spelled exactly as they appear in your passport. Use an email address that you check frequently for the approval notice.

Benefits of Our Service

We provide a simplified form that is easy to understand. Our team reviews your files for clarity and completeness. This extra check helps ensure that your travel to the Seychelles starts without any unnecessary delays.
