Unlike officials in some other Pacific island nations, they replied to me before my trip very quickly and were very efficient.
Vanuatu has few diplomatic representations abroad, and as few nationalities need a visa for the country, they are probably not really used to issuing visas.
Good luck!

Visitors Permits
Persons wishing to visit Vanuatu for a holiday or to see relatives or for reasons of business where such business is not located in Vanuatu (i.e sales representative etc) may be issued with Visitors Permits on arrival provided they are in possession of a confirmed onward or return ticket to a place to which entry is authorised and they have sufficient funds to support themselves. Apart from the exception stated above, Visitors are not permitted to engage in any business or employment. The validity of a Visitors Permit may be extended to a maximum period of four months but, under the law, cannot be extended further.

| Laszlo04:32 UTC28 Nov 2008 | Does that apply to ALL nationalities now, mandja?
When I went to Vanuatu, they did have a list of nationalities that were eligible for visa-free entry, mostly Western nations.

| Laszlo04:45 UTC28 Nov 2008 | Just checked. According to info in airlines' database, citizens of Nepal do require a visa for Vanuatu:
National Nepal (NP) /Destination Vanuatu (VU)
Passport required.
- Passport and/or passport replacing documents must be valid
at least 6 months beyond the date of arrival.
Visa required.
