- Who it's for

- Permitted activities
- Tourism, business, visiting relatives and friends, official missions, sports, professional transport, and cultural, humanitarian or scientific activities. Travelers passing through use a separate transit category rather than this short-stay one.

Moldova visa FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Moldova e-Visa.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a Moldova eVisa if I have a Schengen visa?
It depends. If you are from a visa-required country, holding a valid 'C' or 'D' type visa (or residence permit) issued by a Schengen member state or the European Union often allows you to apply for the eVisa more easily or, in some cases, exempts you from the standard invitation letter requirement. However, most travelers still need to register their entry via the eVisa system before arrival.
How will I receive the Moldova eVisa?
Your approved visa will be sent to you as a PDF document via email. Unlike traditional visas, it is not a sticker placed in your passport. You must print this PDF and present it alongside your passport at the border crossing. You can also find a copy of your eVisa confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.
How long can I stay in Moldova?
The Moldova eVisa (Type C) typically allows for a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This is a short-stay visa intended for tourism, business, or private visits. If you plan to stay longer for work or study, you must apply for a Type D (Long-stay) visa at an embassy.
What is the "Invitation Letter" requirement?
Citizens of certain countries (mostly in Africa and Asia) are required to provide an official invitation letter issued by the General Inspectorate for Migration of Moldova. However, this requirement is waived if you hold a valid visa or residence permit from the US, UK, Canada, or a Schengen country.
What is the processing time for the Moldova eVisa?
The processing time is up to 14 business days. With iVisa, you can get it faster, depending on your nationality and application details.
Do children/minors need a Moldova eVisa?
Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own individual eVisa. For minors, you will need to provide additional documents such as a birth certificate and a copy of the parent/guardian's passport during the application process. You can use iVisa's "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.
