In order to meet the requirements of the 2015 Land Transport Act 2015, all drivers operating in the tourism sector will require only medical reports from Vila Central Hospital and other Government-owned medical facilities. Under the Public Land Transport Act of 2015, which will be fully enforced in 2017, there will be two permits to allow the upgrade of drivers’ service to the customers.
There will be training provided to the applicants and it will be done to a better standard. It is always for the best interest of the customers that these services are safe and sound to ensure that Vanuatu is the happiest place on earth. To get a general driver’s permit, a person who intends to drive land transport to transport the general public must apply to the relevant permit officer for a general driver’s permit.
A person who intends to drive a public land transport to transport tourists must apply to the relevant permit office for a tourist driver’s permit.
By 2017 all drivers operating in the tourism sector and locally must meet the criteria of that change.
