🇻🇺 Vanuatu visa requirements for Malaysian citizens

Entry rules for Malaysia passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Malaysia can travel to Vanuatu for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 120 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 120-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Vanuatu, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Vanuatu immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
