Mauritius grants visa-free entry to Vanuatu nationals for tourism and short business trips. Immigration typically asks to see a confirmed return or onward ticket, accommodation details and evidence of funds for the stay, so have these ready at the airport.

Beyond tourism, Mauritius is a well-known offshore financial and company-formation jurisdiction, so visa-free access is genuinely useful for entrepreneurs — and it is exactly the kind of Indian Ocean and African-gateway mobility that keeps the Vanuatu passport attractive after the European changes.

For stays beyond the visa-free window, or for work, residence or business setup, you must apply for the appropriate permit through the Mauritius authorities (the Economic Development Board handles several residence and occupation schemes). Visa-free entry is for short visits only.
