About the time in Vanuatu
Vanuatu runs on Pacific/Efate, which puts the city UTC +11 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Clocks in Vanuatu stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +11 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Vanuatu.
The zone identifier Pacific/Efate is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Pacific/Efate keeps pointing at Efate time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
