Vanuatu is on the UAE visa required list, so a Ni-Vanuatu traveller needs the visa issued before boarding. A Dubai tourism company files a GDRFA tourist visa for you, or a family member in the UAE sponsors a visit. GDRFA charges AED 210 for 30 days. We prepare and check the file first.

- Cheapest option? The 30-day single entry tourist visa at AED 210 in government fees.

Who files and who pays
A licensed tourism company in Dubai sponsors a tourist visa. For a family visit, a UAE resident host files through ICP, and the pay rule is AED 4,000 a month for a parent, spouse or child, AED 8,000 for a sibling. Our family visit visa page has the host's side.
What to collect in Port Vila
- Vanuatu passport with 6 months or more left
- Colour scan of the photo page and a passport photo
- Flight out of the UAE and travel dates
- Health cover accepted in the UAE
- If a relative hosts you, their Emirates ID and residence visa
Consulate of Vanuatu in Dubai
The UAE foreign ministry directory lists a Consulate of Vanuatu in Dubai, and a Vanuatu government list of missions shows a Consulate General there. For a passport renewal or stamping a document, ask the consulate. We hold no contact details to publish.
Timing
Pick flight dates, then apply. A tourist visa runs from its issue date, so an early visa can lapse before you leave. Read our processing time guide for what slows a file.
How it works with us
Message a passport copy and your plans. An adviser chooses between a tourist visa and a family visit, quotes one total and files once you agree. GDRFA or ICP decides, as we are a private visa service. You receive the e-visa to print.
A refusal means the authorities keep their fees. The adviser tells you in writing before payment what part of our fee, if any, you get back.
