One group agreement or destination policy can support many passport relationships. Dates are recorded only when an official source establishes them.

  1. Current official routeCitizenship

    Moldovan ordinary passport: citizen entry

    A person travelling on a Moldovan ordinary passport is classified as a Moldovan citizen, not under the foreign-visitor visa regime.

    • The Border Police states that Moldovan citizens have the right to leave and enter Moldova on a passport issued by the competent authorities.
    • This citizenship classification does not establish foreign-passport, dual-national document choice, residence, work, transit, or final border-control treatment.

    Named foreign ordinary passports: visa-free visitor baseline

    Moldova's current MFA schedule expressly exempts these foreign nationalities from the visa requirement; Hong Kong and Macao are included only on the stated SAR-passport basis and Qatar is listed under bilateral accords.

    • This is the ordinary foreign-passport visitor baseline inferred from the MFA's nationality exemption list. Hong Kong and Macao are expressly limited to holders of their respective SAR passports; Qatar is a separate bilateral-accord exemption.
    • The cited live schedule does not provide a single duration for this full group, so this candidate does not normalize a length of stay from older embassy pages or country-specific agreements.
    • It does not establish work, residence, airport transit, refugee, emergency, diplomatic, service, special, identity-card, or other travel-document treatment.
    • Foreign entrants must hold an accepted valid travel document, meet purpose/means and onward-travel requirements where applicable, and remain subject to refusal, security, public-health, document-validity and final-admission checks.

  3. Current official routeeVisa

    Named foreign ordinary passports: electronic visitor visa available before travel

    The MFA's current schedule requires these nationalities to hold a visa, and Moldova's official eVisa portal says all foreigners may request a PDF eVisa for eligible transit or short-stay purposes. This is a genuine electronic-issuance route, not merely online filing.

    • The official portal says the eVisa is issued in PDF form and has the same entry right as a sticker visa. Only transit B and short-stay C visas can be obtained online; airport-transit A and long-stay D require a diplomatic mission or consular office.
    • The portal says all foreigners may request eVisa for listed purposes including business, tourism, visits, mission, sports, transport, culture, humanitarian and scientific activities. It does not establish work, study/residence, airport-transit, diplomatic, service, emergency, refugee or other special-document access.
    • On 21 August 2026, normal TLS verification of the official portal failed because its server omitted a trusted issuer chain. This transport defect is an operational warning, not evidence that electronic issuance ended; users must not bypass browser certificate warnings.
    • MFA's required-visa list makes a separate invitation procedure applicable to named nationalities and retains exceptions from that procedure. Its [2] nationalities can instead travel while holding a valid non-transit EU/Schengen, UK, US or Canadian visa or residence permit; that document-conditioned alternative does not change this nationality baseline.
    • For Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Turkmenistan and Vietnam, MFA footnote [1] preserves treaty-based diplomatic, service and special-passport exceptions; those documents are outside this ordinary-passport policy.
    • Foreign entrants remain subject to accepted-document, purpose, means, onward-travel, refusal, security, public-health, passport-validity and final border-admission requirements.
