Official wording
A tourist visa for Vanuatu is designed for short-term travelers with a genuine intention of visiting the country for tourism, leisure, or social visits. This visa comes with specific conditions, including a maximum stay of 120 days without the possibility of extension. Visa holders are not allowed to engage in commercial, employment, or business activities, and they must exit the country before the 120-day validity expires. Tourist visas can be obtained upon arrival for travelers from exempted countries or through a pre-approved application process for those from non-exempted countries.
Aevamo’s reading
Section 26 of the Immigration Act No. 17 of 2010 creates the obligation itself: it makes it an offence for a non-citizen who is not the holder of a visa to enter Vanuatu, and ss 26A and 26B (inserted by the 2018 amendment) are the powers under which the visa-on-arrival and exemption orders are made. The ministry pages describe and apply that statutory scheme rather than creating it.
The Department's visit page states the tourist visa has 'a maximum stay of 120 days' and that tourist visas 'can be obtained upon arrival for travelers from exempted countries', which is exactly the entitlement these issuers hold.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
