Why this verdict

Vietnamese citizens' entry guidance is based on Vanuatu Immigration's official Vietnam non-exempted-country tourist-visa route. Vanuatu Immigration lists this nationality in the non-exempted-country block and says non-exempted countries pay the tourist visa application charge. This guidance 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.
