Moldova Beach Holidays

You can stay in Moldova for tourism without a visa for up to 90 days in any 6-month period.

Your passport must have an expiry date at least 3 months after the date you plan to leave Moldova.

You must be able to show a return or onward flight ticket when you enter Moldova.

Your passport must have at least one blank page for entry stamps.

You cannot use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen for entry into Moldova.

Declare any cash or travellers cheques worth 10,000 euros or more on arrival to receive a certified declaration to show when leaving.

If entering the Transnistria region from Moldova, you must fill in two copies of a migration card for the de facto authorities and keep one copy to present when you leave.

Always carry a copy of your passport's photo page as police frequently ask for ID on the street.

Be alert to street crime and pickpocketing in crowded areas, especially in Chisinau.

Drink-driving is a serious offence, and penalties apply even for alcohol levels below England's legal limit.

Only use reputable taxis, negotiate the price before getting in if there's no meter, and avoid sharing with strangers.

Carry some euros in perfect condition as cash, as cards are not always accepted outside the capital and pounds are hard to exchange.

Avoid taking photos of military and government facilities as you could be detained or arrested.

Keep your valuables and passport in a safe place, such as a hotel safe, to prevent theft.
