Macau, a special administrative region of China, admits Vanuatu nationals visa-free with a stay permit stamped on arrival — typically for 30 days. This is separate from mainland China (which requires a visa) and from Hong Kong (also visa-free for Vanuatu), so a combined Hong Kong–Macau itinerary is straightforward.

For business and leisure travellers in the region, the Hong Kong + Macau combination is one of the more useful visa-free pairings on the Vanuatu passport.

Remember the three jurisdictions are distinct for entry: Hong Kong (visa-free), Macau (visa-free on arrival) and mainland China (visa required). Moving between them means separate immigration checks, so keep your documents handy.
