IANA time zones in Vanuatu
Vanuatu maps to the following IANA time-zone database entries. Open any zone for its current time, UTC offset, daylight-saving rules and the cities and countries that use it.
- Pacific/Efate GMT+11 · UTC+11:00
Does Vanuatu have multiple time zones?
Vanuatu is listed with one main IANA time zone on Alarm.now. That makes the national clock easier to read, but you should still check a specific city clock when scheduling travel, calls, or deadlines.
Why this matters
A country clock is a useful overview, but a city or IANA time-zone page is more precise for travel and scheduling because it identifies the exact rule set, UTC offset, and daylight-saving behavior.
