Do Vietnamese citizens need a visa for Moldova?
Vietnamese passport holders need a visa for Moldova, arranged before you travel. Depending on the country, that means an online application, a sponsor or agent, or an appointment at a visa centre. If you hold a Schengen visa, EU residence or similar, it can be easier: see below.
Heads-up: some sources list this route as eVisa.
What this means for your trip
- Start early. Some countries take the whole application online; others need a visa-centre appointment for fingerprints, and waits can be long in peak season.
- Typical documents: application form, photos, bank statements, tax returns, an employment letter, bookings and travel insurance.
- If you already hold certain other visas, a simpler route may apply. Check the section below.
Easier if you already hold another visa
Vietnamese passport holders who hold one of these documents can get eVisa instead:
- Schengen visa
- EU / Schengen residence
Citizens holding a residence permit or a valid visa issued by one of the member states of the European Union or one of the parties to the Schengen Agreement can apply for an e-Visa.
