Why this verdict
Moldovan citizens' entry guidance is based on Vanuatu Immigration's official Moldova not visible in the official exemption/non-exemption table. Vanuatu's official country table does not clearly list this nationality in either the exempted or non-exempted block. Treat the ordinary-passport answer as requiring direct confirmation before travel. This guidance is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourist travel only. Work, business activity, commercial activity, study, residence, health/character/security issues, under-18 consent, transit routing, carrier handling, source-table spelling/duplication issues and Vanuatu immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Vanuatu Immigration source before booking.
