On 1 July 2023, Vanuatu was classified as a lower tuberculosis (TB) risk country for visa health screening purposes.

The change applies to visa applications lodged on or after 1 July 2023. More information regarding immigration health requirements can be found here.

Medical Options is pleased to announce the opening of their new clinic in Lunganville, Santo.
Workers based in the Northern Provinces are now able to compelte their medicals through an RSE and PALM recognised panel doctor there rather than waste too many days in Port Vila.
This is great news and is a major step forward in decentralising recruitment.
The Vanuatu Agents Committee on behalf of the licensed agents congratulates Dr Griffith, Dr Rosemary and the Medical Options team
