Why this verdict
Nigerian citizens are encoded from Vanuatu Immigration's official Nigeria exempted-country tourist-visa-on-arrival route. Vanuatu Immigration says tourist visas can be obtained upon arrival for travellers from exempted countries who meet the grant criteria. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourist travel only. Work, business activity, commercial activity, study, residence, health/character/security issues, under-18 consent, transit routing, carrier handling, source-table spelling/duplication issues and Vanuatu immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Vanuatu Immigration source before booking.
