The 60-second version
Vanuatu exit needs employer tax certificate and VIRD compliance letter. I export super statements, close VUV account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for hospitality payroll.
VIRD clearance before closing Port Vila payroll account
Vanuatu taxes employment income above threshold — obtain salary tax reconciliation and clearance from VIRD before departure.
Tourism, offshore finance, and logistics payroll common — retain employer settlement; wire USD before account dormancy.
