Cost note
The official exemption page is internally inconsistent for this nationality, so the applicable tourist visa fee should be confirmed directly with Vanuatu Immigration.

Why this verdict
Moldovan citizens are encoded from 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 destination-wave matrix record 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.
