C/V — Short-Stay Private Visit Visa (Type C/V)

The Short-Stay Private Visit Visa (Type C/V) is designed for third-country nationals who intend to travel to the Republic of Moldova to visit friends or family members. This visa category is specifically for those who have a personal connection to a Moldovan citizen or a foreign national who is a legal resident of Moldova. It facilitates social and family reunification for short durations, allowing applicants to stay in the country for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. It is a non-immigrant visa and does not grant the holder the right to work or engage in commercial activities.

To qualify, applicants must demonstrate a clear purpose for their visit, typically supported by an invitation from their host in Moldova. The process emphasizes the applicant's ability to support themselves financially during their stay and ensures they have adequate medical coverage. Whether visiting for a holiday, a family event, or simply to spend time with loved ones, this visa provides the necessary legal framework for entry. Applicants must ensure their documentation is complete, as the visa is strictly for private, non-professional purposes and cannot be used for employment or long-term residency.
