Singapore to Vanuatu visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders can visit Vanuatu visa-free. No visa or pre-arrival approval is needed; immigration grants a visitor stay on arrival for tourism, family visits, or short business meetings. Singapore is a visa-exempt nationality for Vanuatu. As an SG ordinary passport holder you do not need any visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival for a short tourist trip. On arrival, Vanuatu immigration issues a free visitor entry permit valid for visits related to tourism, family, or a business meeting/conference. Vanuatu's regulations allow visa-exempt visitors to remain for up to 120 days in total, and Wikipedia's country-pair table lists the Singapore allowance as 120 days; in practice many travelers are stamped in for a shorter initial period (commonly around 30 days) and can extend at the Immigration Office in Port Vila up to the 120-day cap. To enter you must hold a passport valid at least 6 months beyond your stay, a confirmed return or onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds and accommodation. You cannot work or run a business on this visitor status. Vanuatu is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. The only practical step before flying is making sure your passport, onward ticket, and funds documentation are in order. This guidance reflects Vanuatu's published visa policy as of 2026-05-30; airlines verify documents at check-in, so carry printed proof of onward travel.
