Is this aimed at retirees, pensioners, financially independent people, passive-income holders or another profile?

The Self-funded Resident category of the Vanuatu Residence Visa is for applicants who live on their own certified monthly income, with a higher figure required when a spouse or de facto partner is included.

Which types of income/assets are accepted according to the official source?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which types of income or assets are accepted.

Can the holder work locally, run a business or perform other economic activity? What is the family position?

The main applicant must continue to meet the required monthly income criteria. The official page is internally inconsistent on family: it says applicants can include their spouse and dependent children except those applying under the Self-Funded Resident category, yet it also sets a higher certified income of 500,000 Vatu per month if a spouse or de facto partner is included. The official source does not state whether the holder may work locally or run a business.
