Poland to Vanuatu visa requirements

Polish (EU) passport holders can enter Vanuatu visa-free for tourism. A free visitor permit (typically 30 days) is granted on arrival, extendable locally to a maximum of 120 days total. No advance visa, no eVisa, and no fee at the border. Poland, as a European Union member state, is on Vanuatu's visa-exemption list. Holders of an ordinary Polish passport do not need to obtain a visa before travelling to Vanuatu for tourism, visiting friends/family, or short business meetings. On arrival at Port Vila (Bauerfield) or Espiritu Santo, immigration officers issue a free visitor permit stamped into the passport. The standard initial stay for EU nationals is 30 days, which can be extended at the Department of Immigration and Passport Services in Vanuatu up to a maximum of 120 days from the date of entry. No commercial or paid employment is permitted on this status. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months, a confirmed onward/return ticket, proof of sufficient funds (around 40,000 VUV per month), and accommodation details. Note: the European Council's December 2024 decision to suspend visa-free access concerned Vanuatu passport holders entering the EU/Schengen area (due to Vanuatu's citizenship-by-investment program) and does NOT affect Polish citizens travelling to Vanuatu, who remain visa-exempt. Vanuatu is not in the Schengen area, so the 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route.
