The permit can be extended in-country up to a maximum of 120 days from the date of entry by applying at the Department of Immigration in Port Vila before the current permit expires. No advance application, eVisa, or fee is required for the initial visa-free entry. Standard conditions apply: a passport valid at least six months beyond arrival, a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds (around 40,000 VUV per month, roughly USD 325), and accommodation details. The visitor permit is for tourism, leisure, family visits, business meetings, or conferences only; no employment or paid work is permitted.
