🇻🇺 Pet Import to Vanuatu

Vanuatu is a rabies-free Pacific island nation and applies strict biosecurity controls to protect that status, similar in spirit to Australia and New Zealand. Import requires an advance permit from the national biosecurity authority, microchipping, and typically a quarantine period at an approved facility, with reduced quarantine possible for pets from other recognized rabies-free countries with complete documentation. Because Vanuatu has limited direct international routes, most pets arrive via connecting cargo shipments, which adds logistical complexity. Given the country's small administrative capacity, requirements and processing times can vary and should be reconfirmed directly with Biosecurity Vanuatu before shipment.
