Summary
Vanuatu's partner residence visa is for a spouse or genuine de facto partner of a Vanuatu citizen or resident. It is a family residence route, so the relationship evidence matters more than income, investment, or employment profile.
This is a good pathway to surface when a user has a Vanuatu spouse or long-term partner and wants residence rather than immediate citizenship.
Eligibility
- Not a Vanuatu citizen.
- Married to, or in a genuine de facto relationship with, a Vanuatu citizen or resident.
- Relationship evidence such as marriage records or de facto partnership documents.
- Passport, identity, civil-status, and application documents.
- Compliance with Vanuatu residence visa conditions.
What This Route Allows
This route can allow you to live in Vanuatu based on a qualifying family relationship. The relationship usually must be documented, genuine where relevant, and supported by the required civil records.
What This Route Is Not
This is not based only on wanting to live near family. The family relationship must fit the legal category and usually must be supported by records and sponsor documents.
Next Steps
- Gather marriage or de facto relationship evidence.
- Collect the Vanuatu citizen or resident partner's status documents.
- Prepare passport, identity, civil-status, and application documents.
- Apply through Vanuatu immigration under the partner residence basis.
- Keep relationship and address records available for any renewal or status checks.
