Entry rules for Afghanistan passport holders
Afghan citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Vanuatu. Applications generally go through a Vanuatu embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Vanuatu immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
How this compares
The Afghan passport ranks #199 worldwide, opening 26 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (4 visa-free, 20 with a visa on arrival and 2 with an eTA). Vanuatu is not among them — it is one of the 122 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.
The arrangement is reciprocal: Ni-Vanuatu citizens traveling to Afghanistan face the same requirement (visa required).
Melanesia is closed to spontaneous travel for Afghan passport holders: none of its 4 destinations can be entered without an application first.
