Travel Authorisation Moldova

Description

Swiss citizens can travel to Moldova without a visa for short visits. Under Moldova’s visa exemption policy, Swiss passport holders are permitted to stay for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This makes Moldova an easy destination for Swiss travelers visiting for tourism, business, or family reasons.

Our Travel Authorisation Moldova service ensures that Swiss travelers are informed about all entry requirements, health considerations, and customs rules so they can arrive fully prepared.

Visa process and timing:
No visa application is required in advance. Swiss citizens simply present their valid passport at Chisinau International Airport or any official land border crossing. Immigration authorities stamp the passport with an entry record, granting a stay of up to 90 days. Longer stays require a residence permit or national visa, which must be applied for through the Moldovan Bureau for Migration and Asylum.

Entry requirements for Swiss citizens include:

• A Swiss passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended stay

• Return or onward travel ticket

• Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation from host)

• Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of stay

Health and insurance requirements:
Moldova does not require vaccinations for entry from Switzerland. However, routine immunizations should be up to date, and vaccinations for hepatitis A and typhoid are recommended for travelers. Swiss citizens should carry valid travel insurance covering medical treatment, accidents, and emergency evacuation, as healthcare outside major cities may be limited.

Customs and border rules:
Travelers may bring personal belongings duty-free within set limits. The import of weapons, narcotics, and certain agricultural goods is strictly prohibited. Cash sums exceeding €10,000 must be declared. Special permits are required for bringing in pets, plants, or professional filming equipment.

Stay limits and extensions:
Swiss citizens may stay in Moldova without a visa for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Overstays can result in fines or entry bans, so travelers planning longer stays must apply for the appropriate visa or residence permit. Work, study, or long-term stays require prior authorization through Moldovan immigration authorities.

Moldova offers Swiss visitors a chance to explore its scenic vineyards, historic monasteries, and warm hospitality. With our Travel Authorisation Moldova service, travelers receive clear guidance on entry procedures, health recommendations, and customs rules for a worry-free journey.
