D/TP — Long-Stay Temporary Staff Transfer Visa (Type D/TP)

The Long-Stay Temporary Staff Transfer Visa (Type D/TP) is a specialized immigration instrument regulated under the general framework of Law no. 200/2010 on the regime of foreigners in the Republic of Moldova. It addresses the need for multinational corporations and international organizations to move key personnel between their global branches and their Moldovan subsidiaries. By providing a clear legal basis for secondment, it ensures that companies can maintain operational continuity and transfer specialized knowledge effectively without the bureaucratic hurdles of standard work permits.

This visa is designed for employees, managers, and specialists who are being temporarily transferred within the same legal entity or corporate group to a Moldovan branch or subsidiary. It is ideal for professionals with specific technical or managerial expertise required for ongoing projects or organizational development within the local entity. The visa is distinctive because it focuses on the internal mobility of staff, requiring proof of the existing employment relationship and the specific nature of the transfer, rather than a standard local recruitment process.
