Moldova e-Visa

Purpose: The Moldova eVisa is an online electronic visa that authorizes eligible foreign nationals to enter the Republic of Moldova for short-term purposes, including tourism and leisure, business, familial visits, transit, and other technical purposes. When to apply: It’s recommended to apply at least a month in advance.

Duration and extensions The Moldova eVisa allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day validity period. It may be extended by applying to the migration authority in Moldova.

Entries: The visa is issued as a single- or multiple-entry visa.

Ports of entry: Moldova e-Tourist visa holders can enter the country through any official border crossing.

Delivery format: An approved eVisa is electronically linked to your passport, but travelers are advised to carry a printed copy of the approval PDF when entering Moldova.

Short-Stay Tourist Visa (Type C/T)*

This Type B visa is for travelers who aren't eligible for the eVisa or need a multiple-entry option. It’s a sticker visa placed in your passport.

It allows visits up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism or visiting relatives. You’ll need to apply through a Moldovan embassy and sometimes provide an invitation letter.

Airport Transit Visa (Type A)*

The Type A visa is for travelers who are transiting through a Moldovan airport but not leaving the international transit area. This visa is only needed if you're changing flights in Moldova and your nationality requires a visa to do so, even if you’re not entering the country.

You must have a confirmed onward ticket and remain within the airport during your layover. It does not allow you to pass through immigration or enter Moldova.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Transit Visa (Type B)*

The transit visa is for travelers stopping in Moldova on the way to another country. It lets you stay for up to 5 days per entry, and can be single- or multiple-entry, depending on your plans. You'll need proof of your final destination and any visas required there.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

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.

Most Moldova eVisa applications are processed within 10 calendar days, though it can take up to 20 days, depending on your specific case. For urgent trips, you may pay extra for our Rush or Super Rush services, but allowing at least two weeks helps avoid stress.

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.

No, Moldova doesn’t offer visa-on-arrival. You must apply before you travel and have the approved eVisa in hand (or printed) - if you need a visa. Attempting to board a flight or cross a border without the proper authorization can result in being denied entry.

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 Moldova 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.
