About the Moldova visa

Moldova is one of Europe's least-visited countries, known for its huge underground wine cellars at Mileștii Mici and Cricova, the cliff monastery of Orheiul Vechi and the capital Chișinău. Indian passport holders can apply for a short-stay e-Visa online.

Indians who hold a valid Schengen, UK, US, Canadian or Japanese visa or residence permit can usually enter Moldova visa-free for up to 90 days in 180. Otherwise the e-Visa is the simplest route.

Visa options, stays and fees are set by Moldova immigration and can change. We confirm the current options when you enquire.

Who can apply

  • You hold an Indian ordinary passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of arrival, with at least two blank pages.
  • Your visit is short-term, such as tourism, a family visit or business meetings. Work, study and residence in Moldova need a different visa.

Accommodation requirement

Usually required

Usually required / accommodation proof

Accommodation proof is commonly requested.

When accommodation proof is needed, a refundable hotel booking is generally safer than a non-refundable booking.

  • Photograph: Recent passport-size colour photo on a plain white background, as a digital file.
  • Flights: Confirmed return or onward ticket showing your dates into and out of Moldova.
  • Accommodation: Hotel booking, tour voucher or your host's address and contact details in Moldova.
  • Invitation or tour voucher: An invitation from a host or company in Moldova, or a booking from a tour operator, is often requested.
  • Travel insurance: Medical insurance valid for Moldova for the whole stay.
  • Bank statements: Recent statements showing enough funds for your trip.

The exact document checklist for Moldova is set by its immigration authorities and can change. Contact VisaAdvisory for guidance specific to your trip, and verify on the official immigration or visa portal before payment or travel.
