If you are planning to relocate to Vanuatu for retirement;
starting your own business, or to be employed, there are a
number of rules and regulations which control your entry; the
level/type of investment and how long you intend to stay.
Immigration, Labour and the Investment Regulator, VIPA, all
have forms to be completed and fees to be paid preferably before entering the country;
you may, however, enter as a tourist
(citizens of most countries do not require a Visa to visit
Vanuatu, providing you do not work, for up to four months in a
calendar year). If you do visit Vanuatu as a tourist, be
sure to contact us for any information and assistance with
regards to your requirements.
Let the experts at ktctdotnet navigate the virtual minefield
of paperwork and regulations on your behalf and expedite your
new venture, or retirement plans. We also have extensive
contacts in the local business community and can assist with
finding many of the things you may need, including the right
house, office or builder, to make your dreams come true.
One of our clients,
Express Customs Services, are
the people to contact to make your relocation to Vanuatu as
smooth as possible. Many more of our local service
providers are listed in
The Guide to Vanuatu and you
should also check out the
Vanuatu Real Estate Guide
The various Application Forms are listed, below, in both Word
and PDF format; just download the file you need, complete it
and
email it to us, along with all the necessary
support documents (scanned and ready to print) - we will
submit the documents to the relevant authority for processing,
provide you with progress reports and contact you, should any
additional information be required. The original
documents will, eventually, need to be presented; so bring
them with you when you arrive.
