FAQs

It depends on the visa you’re issued. The eVisa is valid for 90 days from the date it’s issued. Within that window, you’re allowed to stay in Moldova for up to 90 days total. If you’re unclear, you can contact us on WhatsApp – we're available 24/7.

Yes. The Moldova eVisa covers both tourist and business travel. Tourism purposes include vacations, visiting family, and attending cultural or sports events. For business trips, the eVisa allows activities such as meetings, conferences, and short-term professional engagements, all via the same application process.

With iVisa, you can get your Rwanda eVisa in as little as 11 days (depending on your application and chosen delivery speed).

We recommend applying at least 3 weeks before your departure date to account for any unexpected government delays.

Extensions may be granted through Moldova’s Bureau for Migration and Asylum, but you must apply before your visa expires, and extensions aren’t guaranteed. You cannot overstay without risking fines or future entry bans.

Most tourist/business applicants don’t need one if they show confirmed hotel bookings or return flights. However, if you’re visiting a private individual or your host is providing accommodation, you may need an official invitation issued by Moldova’s Bureau for Migration and Asylum. Some nationalities are also required to have an invitation letter.

You can apply for your eVisa through the government or iVisa (download our mobile app). For other visas and documents, you’ll need to complete the application process through the government, pay the visa fee, and in some cases, schedule an interview at a Moldova embassy or consulate. Supporting documents like your passport, photo, and purpose of travel are required.

Overstaying without an approved extension may result in fines, detention, or future entry bans. You should always apply for an extension before your current permission expires through the Moldovan Immigration Department.

If you hold a valid C‑type or D‑type visa or residence permit from the EU, Schengen area, UK, US, or Canada, you may enter Moldova without needing to apply for a Moldovan visa, provided your travel documents meet entry requirements and are valid.

  1. Our team of iVisa experts will review your documents to make sure you have the best chance of being approved.

  2. We then send it to the government for processing on your behalf.

  3. Once your visa is approved, we’ll then email you your document.

In the meantime, download the iVisa app, so you can access your travel documents while you're on the go.

collapse-start]How will I receive the Moldova eVisa? Once your Moldova eVisa application is approved, you’ll receive a confirmation email. We recommend printing a physical copy of the eVisa to present at the border checkpoint and keeping a digital version on your mobile device.[collapse-end]

If denied, you will receive a notification via email. The most common reasons for denial are incorrect names, birthdates, or passport numbers. You can usually reapply by submitting a completely new application with corrected information.

iVisa offers denial protection. Our experts manually review your application before submission to prevent these common issues.
