Important Note on EU/Schengen Access

As of December 2024, the Council of the EU removed Vanuatu from the Schengen visa-exempt list. Vanuatu passport holders now require a Schengen visa to enter EU member states. However, Vanuatu citizens continue to enjoy visa-free access to the United Kingdom (6 months), Russia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and numerous other strategically important destinations. UAE residents can apply for Schengen visas from Dubai with relative ease.
