ABOUT THE COUNTRY

The country of Vanuatu, located in the South Pacific Ocean and neighboring Australia and New Zealand, offers a beautiful retirement destination. It is made up of 80 islands.

After being captured by France and Britain in the 1880s, Vanuatu gained its independence in the 1970s.

As a result of their independence in the 1970s, Vanuatu has become a member of the United Nations, Commonwealth of Nations, Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, and the Pacific Islands Forum.

Because of this, Vanuatu continues to hold the 39th most powerful passport, giving visa-free or visa-on-arrival up to 135 countries.
