1. Download and complete the Passport Application Form
2. Complete the form, making sure you:
- TICK "NORMAL" PRIORITY (The Passport Office has put urgent passports on hold. Speak to Dan if you need an urgent passport as you can get a Certificate of Entry)
- Sign in the box at the top left and at the bottom right
Scan and Email your application form to us
3. Get your passport portrait photo taken from a place that does these, eg Australian Post, NZ Post Shop or most Pharmacies. The photo must be ELECTRONIC and not a printed copy.
Get the photographer to email this to us.
4. Get your birth certificate
- If you have a copy with you, scan and send this to us.
- If you dont have a copy with you, then you will need to get a family member to get one from Civil Status and then get that to our office in Vila. Current cost is 500vt
Email your birth certificate to us
Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
5. Now get a member of the family to see us at the office AFTER you have done the above. We will issue the person with an official agents letter requesting the passport.
6. We will print the copy of the application form and birth certificate if provided, and also the letter and a copy of their old passport.
The family member will then be responsible for
- Going to Civil Status to get a birth certificate (if we dont receive one)
- Going to Top Shots to pay and collect the passport photos
- Going to the Immigration Department and pay the cashier
- Waiting for the passport
- Return the new passport to us for scanning and sending to the Employer.
At this stage, Seasonal Workers returning from Australia are able to travel with an electronic copy of their travel document (Passport or CI). But Employers must check first with the Vanuatu Government and airlines whether this is acceptible or not.
