Can a Belarusian traveller visit Vanuatu?

Caution

Belarusian passport: heightened scrutiny across EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia

Following the 2020 election crisis and Belarus's role in Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, EU and allied states apply heightened scrutiny to Belarusian visa applications. Many EU consulates have reduced operations or suspended tourist visa issuance entirely. Lithuania, Latvia and Poland have implemented additional restrictions.

Most Belarusian travellers don't need a visa when heading to Vanuatu for tourism.

The route most travellers use is the Visa-free (120 days). Stays go up to 120 days per visit.

The paperwork is straightforward — approval is likely if your documents are in order.
