Official Information

Overview

Issued to holders of diplomatic or service passports and government officials traveling to Moldova for official duties or international organization business.

The Short-Stay Official Mission Visa (Type C/MI) is a specialized category established under the Law on the Regime of Foreigners in the Republic of Moldova (No. 200/2010) to support diplomatic and administrative cooperation. It serves the critical function of facilitating the entry of foreign government representatives and international organization personnel who are traveling to Moldova for official purposes. By providing a streamlined and often fee-waived process, this visa ensures that essential political and administrative engagements can occur without bureaucratic impediments.

This visa is specifically for holders of diplomatic, service, or official passports, as well as government officials and representatives of international organizations traveling to Moldova for professional duties. It is distinct from standard visitor visas because it is tied directly to the applicant's official status and the nature of their mission. It is the ideal document for diplomats, delegates, and public administrators who need to enter the country to conduct government-to-government business, attend official meetings, or fulfill administrative roles.
