There is no more going from one office to another for registrations and approvals, no more queuing up to make payments and no more following up in person. Vanuatu eBusiness Link is making all these easier for you.
Vanuatu eBusiness Link is a modern online platform developed to support investors and businesses in establishing operations in Vanuatu.
It provides a single, convenient point of access to key government registration services, helping you complete your business setup in a clear, efficient, and coordinated way.
Designed with investors in mind, the platform reflects Vanuatu’s commitment to creating a business-friendly environment, improving service delivery, and supporting economic growth.
Current Scope of eBusiness Link
The remaining registration and approvals for Visa, Work Permits and Employer will require seprate online registration and inperson visitations.
Residency Visa, Work Permits and Employer Registration
Obtaining your Residency Visa, Work permits and Employer Registration are the remaining part of our business startup process. To get these, physical visitation or separate online registration are needed. Integrating these 3 systems into the eBusiness Link will be our priority.
