Vanuatu passport: visa-free countries (2026)

Vanuatu's passport lost its visa-free access to the Schengen area in stages from 2022, and in 2025 the EU moved Vanuatu to the list of countries whose nationals need a visa; Britain added it to its visa list in mid-2023. Of 194 destinations in the third-party dataset, 42 remain visa-free.
