The Vanuatu Immigration and Passport Services has discovered Fake Vanuatu Permanent Residency (PR) cards issued as of 27th March 2024, to clients in mainland China. The PR cards were not issued by the department of Vanuatu Immigration and Passport Services. It is a serious offence in the Vanuatu Immigration law and regulation to uttering false Immigration documents. Therefore, the department of Vanuatu Immigration and Passport Services urged that such practice should stop immediately. This is to avoid further legal actions to be taken by the department against the culprits who are issuing the fake PR documents.

Vanuatu Immigration and Passport Services is appealing to interested persons who wish to apply for a Vanuatu PR card to consult our main office in Port Vila or email [email protected] or [email protected] for assistance in applying for a Vanuatu Permanent Residency Visa Card.

A sample of the fake card that is being circulated is shown below:

Thank you.
