Summary

Vanuatu’s student residence route lets an accepted student live there for higher education. The institution and course must support the application. The student needs evidence of monthly support and the security deposit for the required outward flight. An admission offer is one part of the immigration file, rather than permission to remain on its own.

Could this pathway work for you?

Eligibility

The checklist requires enrollment, at least VUV 40,000 per applicant each month, and a security deposit covering the required outward airfare. Prepare your passport, admission evidence, financial support, and any health, character, or guardian documents required for your circumstances.

Planning higher education in Vanuatu
  1. Confirm admission and financial support Prepare enrollment evidence and at least VUV 40,000 per applicant each month.
  2. Prepare the visa and airfare security Include the required deposit and personal documents.
  3. Apply again for each further year Keep the study permission current and follow the course-related work limits.

What This Route Allows

Student permission lasts up to one year. A longer course needs a new application each year. Paid employment or commercial activity is prohibited unless required as part of the course.

What This Route Is Not

Admission alone does not authorize entry or employment. Student permission does not provide unrestricted work rights, an automatic work visa after graduation, or permanent residence. Family members need the appropriate approval.

Next Steps

  1. Confirm the qualifying institution, full-time course, and accepted place.
  2. Prepare the admission and support records with the institution’s help.
  3. Obtain student permission and arrange any further application before the authorized period ends.
