Guide last updated October 24, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure from Moldova
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host's invitation)
  • Evidence of sufficient funds for the stay
  • Travel health insurance recommended for the duration of the stay
  • No visa, biometrics, or photo required for visa-free entry

Visa types

  • No visa category applies for the 90-day visa-free tourist/business stay. Travellers wishing to work, study, or stay longer must apply for a long-stay (D-category) visa or residence permit through Moldova's Bureau for Migration and Asylum or the nearest Moldovan consulate before travel, requiring sponsor or employer documentation.

Entry conditions

  • Hong Kong SAR passport holders may enter Moldova visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period, for tourism, business, or family visits, with no work permitted on this basis. On arrival at Chisinau International Airport or a land border crossing, present your passport, return ticket, and proof of accommodation. There is no extension mechanism for the visa-free period - travellers must leave before the 90 days within the 180-day window are used up.

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee applies for the visa-free 90-day entry. If a long-stay D-visa is later required, fees and processing (typically several weeks, requiring an in-person application) vary by category and are handled through the nearest Moldovan consulate, since Moldova does not maintain a consulate in Hong Kong.

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Track your 90/180-day Moldova allowance separately from the Schengen area, since Moldova is not a Schengen member and keeps its own entry count
  • Carry proof of onward travel and accommodation even though visa-free, as border officers at land crossings sometimes request it
  • Since Moldova has no consulate in Hong Kong, plan any long-stay visa needs well ahead, usually routed through Moldova's embassy in Beijing
  • Travel insurance is advisable given variable healthcare quality outside Chisinau
  • Keep an eye on regional travel advisories given Moldova's proximity to areas of regional instability
