All operations must be undertaken in compliance with CAAV Rules Part 101.
For RPAS Registration purposes there is no distinction between commercial use or recreational / personal use.

* All non-resident foreign drones and operators SHOULD Be Registered At Least 2 WEEKS Prior to arrival in Vanuatu and will be checked at Customs
