Türkiye to Vanuatu visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Vanuatu visa-free?

You usually get 30 days on arrival. You can extend at the immigration office in Port Vila up to a maximum of 120 days within any 12-month period.

Q: Is there any fee to enter?

Entry on the visitor permit is free. Only an optional extension or tourist visa (about VUV 5,150 / USD 43) carries a fee if you stay longer.

Q: What do I need to show at immigration?

A passport valid for at least 6 months, a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of funds, and accommodation details such as a hotel booking.

Q: Can I work in Vanuatu on this permit?

No. The visitor permit is for tourism, family visits, or short business meetings only; employment and commercial activity are prohibited.

Q: Do I need to apply for anything online before traveling?

No. There is no eVisa or electronic travel authorization required for Turkish nationals; the permit is granted at the border.

Turkish ordinary passport holders can travel to Vanuatu visa-free for tourism. No advance visa or eVisa is needed: a free visitor permit (commonly 30 days) is stamped on arrival, extendable up to a 120-day maximum. Turkey is on Vanuatu's official visa-exempt list, so an ordinary Turkish passport holder needs no visa for a short tourist visit. On arrival at Bauerfield International Airport (Port Vila) or another port of entry, immigration stamps a free visitor permit, generally for 30 days. There is no application, fee, or pre-approval at the counter. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months, a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds (roughly VUV 40,000 per month / about USD 325), and accommodation details. If a longer stay is needed, visitors can apply at the Department of Immigration in Port Vila to extend up to a combined maximum of 120 days in any 12-month period; the tourist visa/extension carries a modest fee. No work or business activity is permitted on the visitor permit. The visa-free status was confirmed against Vanuatu's official Department of Immigration visa-exempt countries list, the Wikipedia visa policy of Vanuatu page, and a current 2026 travel guide.
