Malaysia to Vanuatu visa requirements
Malaysian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa in advance for tourism in Vanuatu. Malaysia is on Vanuatu's visa-exempt list, so a tourist permit is granted free of charge on arrival, normally for 30 days and extendable in-country up to a maximum of 120 days. Vanuatu treats Malaysia as a visa-exempt nationality. As a Malaysian ordinary passport holder, you can fly to Vanuatu (Port Vila / Bauerfield International Airport) for tourism without applying for or paying for a visa beforehand. Immigration issues a tourist entry permit on arrival, typically valid for 30 days, which can be extended or converted at the Department of Immigration in Port Vila up to a total maximum of 120 days. You must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, a confirmed return or onward ticket departing within your permitted stay, proof of sufficient funds, and accommodation details. This is consistent across the Wikipedia "Visa policy of Vanuatu" page and the Vanuatu Department of Immigration framework, which lists Malaysia among exempt countries. One secondary aggregator incorrectly claims a visa is required; it is contradicted by the official immigration framework and is not authoritative. Vanuatu is a Pacific island nation and is NOT in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
