Vanuatu Passport: Updated Visa-Free Countries List – May 2026
Table of Contents
When it comes to Citizenship by Investment, Vanuatu is one of the more established yet often overlooked programs. Despite its smaller global profile, the country has maintained political stability and steady international relationships over the years. The politics are stable, the foreign ties are well-established, and for a nation of its size, that kind of global standing is worth acknowledging. Small in geography, but consistent in presence.
Now, the passport, in 2026, gets you into 85+ countries, which puts it at 51st worldwide. You’re looking at good coverage through Africa, the Caribbean, chunks of Asia and Oceania, plus scattered access in Europe and the Middle East. For an investment-based passport, the visa-free reach is honestly pretty competitive.
