Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | You need an eVisa to enter Moldova. Apply at the official Moldova eVisa portal before you fly. Processing takes up to 10 working days, so submit at least two weeks ahead.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Moldova. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Moldovan law, but airlines may enforce 6 months — check with your carrier. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit | Border officers may ask for a return or onward ticket to confirm you will leave Moldova within your visa validity. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may request proof of where you are staying. A hotel reservation or a letter from a host in Moldova works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements or cash showing you can cover your stay. No fixed amount is published, but around €50 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
eVisa is single entry only
The Moldova eVisa allows one entry. If you leave Moldova (even to a neighboring country), you'll need a new eVisa to re-enter. Plan your trip accordingly.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you arrive in Moldova, not from your departure date. If you're traveling soon, double-check your passport's expiry.
What happens at the border

Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Moldova eVisa website (evisa.gov.md). Fill in the application form, upload a passport-style photo and a copy of your passport bio page. Pay the fee with a credit or debit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days, but apply at least a week before your trip.

Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get an email with your eVisa attached as a PDF. Print a copy and also save it on your phone. You'll need to show it at immigration when you arrive.

Prepare your documents for travel
Pack your passport (valid 6+ months), printed eVisa, return ticket, accommodation booking, and travel insurance. Keep them together in a folder or digital wallet for easy access.

Arrive in Moldova and go through immigration
At Chișinău International Airport (the main entry point), follow signs to 'Foreign Passports' or 'Non-EU' queues. Hand over your passport and eVisa. The officer may ask for your return ticket or accommodation proof. Answer clearly. You'll get an entry stamp — check the date is correct.
