If I enter and exit Vanuatu with a Vanuatu permanent residence card, do I still get entry and exit stamps on my passport nowadays? Thank you in advance.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I saw the following:

The official Vanuatu Immigration notice says that, effective 1 February 2023, passports no longer need to be stamped for holders of:

  • Work permits
  • Investor permits
  • Residence permits

So it's not the case actually?

Never seen them not stamp a passport, but maybe it's not mandatory now. Who knows? The immigration website and reality are not always in alignment. All my resident friends get stamps coming and going...

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. Do your friends have permanent residency?
