02 / In plain words
What Spouse (Vanuatu form) means
Spouse is the spouse's role in the Vanuatu CIIP form. Fields B mirror the main applicant's fields, and the form is 2 pages.
The address in field B7 must match the main applicant's exactly. If the spouse does not work, the occupation field shows community work or volunteering, with an unpaid letter from the organisation.
Part 2 includes the birth certificate, medical report, translated marriage certificate and a signature specimen.
A simple example
The applicant's wife did not work. A community organisation's volunteering letter was accepted, and the form went through without questions.

Key facts
01Role in the CIIP form
Spouse, fields B1-B21 and part 2
The spouse's form runs to 2 pages and mirrors the main applicant's fields, so the details in both forms must match.
02Address in field B7
Letter for letter as the main applicant's
We copy the address from the applicant's form unchanged, including abbreviations and flat number. Any spelling difference is best fixed before filing.
03If the spouse does not work
A letter confirming unpaid volunteering
The occupation field is never left blank. Community work or volunteering confirmed by a letter from the organisation is accepted.
04Spouse's documents
8 documents plus a translated marriage certificate
Passport, second ID, criminal record certificate, CV, birth certificate, employment letter, medical certificate and photo. Part two also needs a specimen signature.
Common mistakes
Writing the address differently from the applicant
Copy the address into field B7 exactly as in the main applicant's form, including abbreviations and flat number.
Leaving the occupation blank
If the spouse does not work, state community work or volunteering and attach a letter from the organisation confirming it is unpaid.
Forgetting the marriage certificate translation
Submit the marriage certificate with its translation from the start: it belongs to part two of the spouse's form.
06 / Expert advice
How to prepare
If the spouse does not work, get an unpaid volunteering letter from a community organisation.
