Travel notes for Vanuatu

VU / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

Vanuatu is an island nation with no land borders: you arrive and leave by air or sea, and getting between islands is part of the trip. Plan connections with a little slack.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

No counter to find, no passport to show to buy a SIM: an Ozu eSIM is on your phone before you take off. Plans run from 1 GB to 5 GB, valid up to 21 days. And because it runs on local networks, the bill at home never learns you travelled.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Summer in Vanuatu runs December to February and winter June to August, the exact opposite of the north. The transition months usually hand you the best weather at the best price.

MONEY

Paying your way

Keep the trip money in a separate account from your everyday one, with only what you plan to spend in it. If a card gets cloned, you lose a week’s budget and a phone call, not everything you have.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Airlines check for an onward or return ticket at the desk, not the border, and they’ll refuse boarding without one where the rules ask for it. Have the exit booked, or at least printed, before you get to check-in.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

Numbers are what get misunderstood most: prices, times, platform numbers. Have them written or typed rather than spoken, and repeat them back before you agree to anything.
