Moldova at a glance
Moldova is a small Eastern European country bordering Romania and an official candidate for EU membership. Its capital, Chișinău, is the centre of business, services and construction activity.
Foreign workers generally need an employer in Moldova who initiates the process with the Moldovan migration authorities, followed by a visa where required and a residence permit for work purposes. Rules and procedures may change, so each case must be checked against current official requirements.
We help you understand the stages, verify employer documentation, and prepare a careful application. Decisions are made solely by the Moldovan authorities.
