      However, visitors who are from somewhere other than these countries must get a visa from a Moldovan foreign mission or an online e-visa before they can enter Moldova.

       The only passports accepted by the government are machine-readable or, in some cases, biometric national ID cards issued by EU countries, Monegasque, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Turkey, and Suriname. ID cards and passports must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the visitor's intended stay in the country.

      Use The Same Passport: It is very important that you travel with the same passport you used for the visa application, not a different one. If you use a different passport, you will be denied entry.

      Apply Early: It is in your best interest to submit your application at least 72 hours or even more before your trip to Moldova. Early application will protect you from the risk of changing your itinerary or canceling your plans altogether.
