Guide last updated September 25, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended departure from Moldova, issued within the last 10 years
  • Completed online e-visa application with a scanned passport bio-data page
  • Recent digital passport-style photo (white background) uploaded during the application
  • Proof of onward or return travel (flight itinerary)
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter from a host in Moldova)
  • Evidence of sufficient funds for the stay
  • Travel health insurance with minimum coverage of EUR 30,000, valid for the Moldova visit
  • Biometrics: fingerprints and photo may be captured on arrival depending on current border procedures

Visa types

  • Tourist e-Visa: single entry, valid for a stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, must be used within a set validity window from issuance
  • Business e-Visa: same online process, requires an invitation letter from a Moldovan company or organization
  • Transit e-Visa: for short stopovers, shorter validity and lower fee
  • Longer-stay national visas (Type D) for study or work require a separate application through a Moldovan embassy

How to apply online

  • Applications are submitted through Moldova's official e-visa portal managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  • Register an account, complete the application form with personal and travel details, and upload the required documents
  • Pay the e-visa fee online by credit or debit card
  • Approval is typically communicated by email within 3-5 working days
  • Print the e-visa approval and carry it along with your passport when traveling, as border officials will check it against your passport details
  • Keep a digital copy accessible on your phone as a backup

Fees & processing time

  • E-visa fee: approximately EUR 60-72 depending on entry type (single/multiple) and processing speed selected
  • No separate VFS/BLS service fee, as the portal is government-operated
  • Standard processing time: 3-5 working days from submission
  • An expedited option may be available for an additional fee, reducing processing to around 1-2 working days

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Apply for the e-visa at least 2 weeks before departure to allow time for processing and any follow-up requests
  • Ensure your travel health insurance meets the EUR 30,000 minimum coverage requirement, as this is commonly checked
  • Keep both printed and digital copies of your e-visa approval and insurance certificate
  • Double check entry point requirements, as Moldova's e-visa is typically valid for entry via Chisinau International Airport - confirm validity for land border crossings if arriving from a neighboring country
  • Have your hotel booking or invitation letter readily accessible for border checks
