Important Notes

ℹ

Apply ONLY at evisa.gov.md — the official government portal. Several lookalike sites (evisa-moldova.com, visamoldova.com) charge markups for the same €40 visa.

ℹ

Two routes: the €40 e-visa (fully online, no embassy visit) or the €70 sticker visa via VFS Global New Delhi — the e-visa is cheaper and skips the appointment entirely.

ℹ

Holding a valid EU/Schengen/UK/US/Canada visa or residence permit substitutes for the invitation requirement — a big simplification for most Indian applicants.

ℹ

Minors under 18 are exempt from the visa fee on both routes.

ℹ

Financial proof is strict: the bank statement must be issued within 10 days of submission and show €30/day of stay.

ℹ

Moldova is NOT in the EU or Schengen — time here doesn't touch your Schengen 90/180 allowance, and a Moldovan visa doesn't open EU borders.
