Official Information

Overview

Allows entry for long-term medical treatment, therapy, and rehabilitation at Moldovan healthcare facilities.

The Long-Stay Medical Treatment Visa (Type D/TR) is a dedicated visa category designed to support individuals seeking specialized care within the Moldovan healthcare system. Established to accommodate patients who require long-term therapy, rehabilitation, or complex medical interventions that exceed the duration of a standard short-stay visit, it ensures that foreign nationals can access necessary health services legally. This visa fills a vital gap for patients and their essential companions, providing a stable legal status for the entire duration of their treatment plan.

This visa is for individuals who have secured a letter of acceptance from a public or private medical institution in Moldova, detailing their diagnosis and the expected duration of treatment. It is also available to a necessary companion if the patient cannot care for themselves. It is distinctive because it requires specific institutional documentation from the treating facility, making it a purpose-driven visa that prioritizes the continuity of care and the patient's ability to remain in the country until their recovery or treatment cycle is complete.
