Israel to Vanuatu visa requirements

Israeli ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Vanuatu for tourism. Israel is on Vanuatu's visa-exempt list, so a free visitor permit (tourist visa) is granted on arrival for stays of up to 120 days. Vanuatu maintains a liberal entry policy and lists Israel among its visa-exempt nationalities. An Israeli citizen holding an ordinary passport can travel to Vanuatu for tourism, family visits, or business meetings without arranging any visa in advance. On arrival at Bauerfield International Airport (Port Vila) or Pekoa International Airport (Espiritu Santo), immigration officers issue a complimentary visitor permit/tourist visa stamped into the passport, permitting a stay of up to 120 days. This permit does not allow employment or commercial work, and it cannot be extended beyond 120 days. To be admitted, travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay and should be able to show proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds. Vanuatu is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. The verdict is visa-free for short tourist stays; there is no eVisa, ETA, or paid visa-on-arrival requirement for Israeli ordinary passport holders.
