The Moldova eVisa is an online visa application route that allows eligible foreign nationals to apply for entry to Moldova without visiting an embassy or consulate. Applicants submit their information, upload supporting documents, and pay the applicable fee online. Decisions are issued electronically, and successful applicants receive an approval notice for border presentation alongside their passport.
For an overview of all visa types, see the Moldova Visa Overview.

- Use clear, legible scans that meet size and format rules
- Upload complete accommodation and itinerary evidence
- Demonstrate sufficient funds with recent statements
If you receive a refusal, review reasons carefully and address them before reapplying. See Moldovavisa refusals & reapplication.
