If you are planning on staying in Moldova for the long haul, you are going to need to get a Long Term Visa. A Long Term Visa (also known as the Long Stay Visa) will be issued to you for a period not exceeding 12 months, for one or more entries with the right to stay in Moldova no longer than 90 days within a period of 6 months from the date of first entry into the country. The Long stay visa is granted for the following purposes:
- Entrepreneurial activity
- Employment (be sure to secure your work permit first!)
- Education
- Family reunification
- Humanitarian or religious activities
- Diplomatic and service activities
- Medical treatment
(Go to my Moldova visa page for information on other types of visas for Moldova.) I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the Moldova Long Term Visa.
