Egypt to Vanuatu visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Vanuatu. Egypt is not on Vanuatu's visa-exempt list, so you must apply online for a Vanuatu eVisa (Visitor/Tourist Visa) before you travel. The application fee is 5,150 VUV (about USD 42) and the visa allows tourist stays of up to 120 days. Vanuatu grants visa-free entry to a large number of nationalities (including the EU, UK, US, Australia, New Zealand and most Commonwealth and Pacific states), but Egypt is NOT on the visa-exempt list. Vanuatu does not operate a visa-on-arrival scheme for non-exempt nationals. Therefore an Egyptian ordinary passport holder must obtain a Vanuatu eVisa (Visitor/Tourist Visa) in advance through the official portal at evisa.gov.vu before boarding. The standard visitor visa fee is 5,150 VUV (roughly USD 42). Tourist stays may be granted for up to 120 days. Applicants must hold a passport valid at least six months beyond the intended stay, a confirmed return/onward ticket, and evidence of sufficient funds (the immigration department references around 60,000 VUV per month of stay). Online processing typically takes about 7-15 working days, so apply well ahead of departure. Vanuatu is a South Pacific island nation and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. As of 2026-05-30 the official Vanuatu Department of Immigration and Passport Services and the Vanuatu eVisa portal remain the authoritative channels; confirm current fees and document lists there immediately before applying.
