Vanuatu

European Union citizens can visit Vanuatu visa-free for up to 90 days. Nationals from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea can also visit visa-free, but only for 30 days. Extensions are possible through the Vanuatu Immigration office before the visa expires, with a fee for each extension. The maximum stay is up to four months from the date of arrival, requiring a new extension visa each month. If you're unsure about visa requirements for Vanuatu, contact your nearest embassy for more information.

Thanks to the tropical climate, the weather is generally good throughout the year. However, April to October is when the weather is the most comfortable. The wet season is from November to March, with short periods of rain, with warmer and more humid conditions; however, none of these affect tours or activities. Year-round water temperatures swing between 22°C to 28°C, making swimming always enjoyable.

Mini buses in Vanuatu don't run according to specific routes or timetables, instead they simply take you where you wish to go. Buses are a cheap way of getting around and you can simply flag down one heading in the general direction you wish to go.

Car rentals can be found in both Port Vila and Luganville, but scooter rentals are limited to Port Vila. To drive a car in Vanuatu, you must be at least 23 years old and have had a valid driver's license for at least one year. For scooter rentals, the minimum age requirement is 17 years.
