I invested in a Vanuatu passport a few years ago and have been planning a short trip to the UK starting next week which I had booked two weeks ago. Now that the UK isn’t allowing visa-free travel to Vanuatu citizens, do I have to apply for a visa for this trip (which won’t be possible) or is there some grace period before the decision applies?
Answers
The changes, which come into effect immediately, will apply to all ni-Vanuatu seeking to enter the UK. However, there will be a four-week transition period until 15:00 BST Thursday 16 August, during which visitors who booked their travel before 15:00 BST 19 July can still enter the UK.
