Hungary advises a high degree of caution for Vanuatu.
Exercise increased caution because protests can turn violent, opportunistic crime and preholiday theft are risks. Avoid walks and transport after dark, secure valuables, and take care in bars and clubs in Port Vila, where women face harassment and violence. Healthcare is limited, illness may require evacuation, and dengue, malaria, Zika and other infections are risks. Poor roads, cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic activity require attention to warnings and instructions.
Australia advises normal precautions for Vanuatu.
Exercise normal precautions because the crime rate is low, although handbag theft occurs. Hospitals do not meet European standards, so practise food and water hygiene, use mosquito protection, carry a medical kit, and obtain travel insurance. Expect transport and infrastructure restrictions from earthquake damage, water shortages, slow internet, power cuts, unsafe buildings and unpaved roads, and also meet entry requirements for passport validity, onward travel and funds.
Travel to Vanuatu can generally proceed if usual precautions are followed. In Port Vila, earthquake-related infrastructure repairs continue, although the city centre and many hotels and tourist businesses have reopened. Check current arrangements with your travel agency or airline before departure.
Take normal precautions in Vanuatu, guarding against petty crime, home break-ins, credit card fraud and occasional demonstrations. Women should avoid travelling alone at night, and take care in bars and clubs in Port Vila. Boats between islands may be unsafe, and roads outside Efate and Santo are unpaved. Seek local advice before swimming because sharks are present, particularly around Espiritu Santo and Malekula, and use experienced guides for adventure activities.
Exercise normal precautions when travelling to Vanuatu, but always consider the risk of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis because it lies in a seismically active region. Check the situation before travelling. Estonian citizens may stay visa free for up to 90 days within 180 days, but entry and stay conditions may change.
Germany advises normal precautions for Vanuatu.
Hong Kong advises normal precautions for Vanuatu.
Take normal precautions in Vanuatu, but take crime precautions, especially after dark, in isolated locations and when alone. Road travel can be dangerous because roads may be poorly maintained or unlit and pedestrians may be hard to see. Avoid mosquito bites and take insurance covering medical evacuation. Medical facilities are basic, with ambulances in Port Vila and Luganville, while serious cases require evacuation to Australia or New Zealand.
Japan advises normal precautions for Vanuatu.
Take normal precautions in Vanuatu, but remain alert for pickpocketing and theft, especially in crowded places in Port Vila. There is a risk of earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and hazardous gases, flooding caused by cyclones, flash floods and dangerous sea currents. LGBTQ+ travellers may face discrimination and aggression, particularly outside Port Vila. Avoid demonstrations, check boat safety and weather conditions, and go to higher ground immediately if a tsunami is suspected.
Use normal precautions in Vanuatu, keep your belongings attended, stay vigilant, travel in groups and avoid going out alone at night. Medical facilities on the islands are limited and medical evacuation can be expensive, so choose insurance appropriate to your activities. Dress appropriately and respect local sensitivities, especially outside resort areas, and monitor weather forecasts and follow local instructions during the tropical cyclone season from November to March.
Take normal precautions in Vanuatu, ensuring your passport is valid for six months after arrival, checking visa requirements, and declaring prohibited or taxable goods. Facilities are basic and limited; Port Vila has clinics, and paid ambulances serve Port Vila and Luganville. Serious cases may require evacuation to Australia or New Zealand, so arrange insurance for treatment and evacuation. Risks include malaria, dengue, chikungunya and a high global threat of terrorism.
