- Before carrying on business as a provider of artificial intelligence or AI-related data services in Vanuatu, apply to the Director of the Department of Communications and Digital Transformation for an ICT service permit in that class, and pay the prescribed annual permit fee.
- Comply with any condition the Director imposes on the permit, and cooperate with an enforcement officer's inspection, information request, or search warrant, since a serious breach can suspend the permit and stop all operations, and providing the service without a valid permit is a criminal offence.
