Mainland China requires Vanuatu nationals to hold a visa appropriate to their purpose — most commonly the L (tourist) visa. Note that special rules and transit exemptions can apply to certain cities and airports; these change periodically, so check the latest guidance.
Remember that Hong Kong, by contrast, remains visa-free for Vanuatu passport holders — a useful distinction when planning travel in the region.
Chinese visa applications for Vanuatu citizens go through a Chinese Visa Application Service Centre, where biometrics are usually collected. Have your invitation or detailed itinerary, hotel bookings and return flights ready. Note that visa-free transit windows exist for some Chinese cities and airports under specific conditions — check whether your routing qualifies before relying on it.
