The Bahamas grants Vanuatu nationals visa-free entry for tourism, typically for up to three months. Carry a confirmed return ticket and accommodation details, and check whether an electronic arrival or travel-health card is currently required before departure.

One practical caveat for the region: while the Bahamas is visa-free, the United States is not for Vanuatu passport holders — and many Bahamas itineraries connect through US airports, which would require a US visa. Plan routing accordingly.

If your trip transits the United States (common for Caribbean routings), remember that a Vanuatu passport needs a US B-1/B-2 visa even for a connection, since Vanuatu is not in the Visa Waiver Program. Direct routings avoid this.
