1. Reported Stateless Persons
To date, there has been no reported stateless population in Vanuatu. This calls for improved data collection and the development of a procedure for identifying persons who are stateless in Vanuatu.
2. Persons at Risk of Statelessness
Those at risk of statelessness in Vanuatu could include foundlings and children born to stateless parents within the territory due to gaps in legislation.
3. Undetermined Nationalities
In Vanuatu’s 2020 Census, 27 non-citizen residents in Vanuatu were categorized as having an ‘unknown’ citizenship status.
