Bangladeshi passport holders need an eVisa to travel to Moldova. You apply online before you travel, and approval is linked to your passport number. As of 2026, this is the only way to get a visa for tourism or business.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Moldova eVisa at evisa.gov.md. Processing takes up to 10 working days. Print the approval email and carry it with your passport — border officers will ask to see it.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Bangladesh passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure date from Moldova. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit | Immigration officers at Chișinău Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing your departure from Moldova within the eVisa validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Moldova. Border officers sometimes ask where you are staying — having a printed booking avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements or a credit card ready showing you have enough money for your stay. Moldova does not publish a fixed minimum, but around €50 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
eVisa is mandatory — no exceptions
Bangladeshi passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival or enter visa-free. You must have an approved eVisa before you travel. Border officials will deny entry without it.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Moldova, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to evisa.gov.md, fill out the application form, upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page and a passport-sized photo, and pay the fee. Processing usually takes 3-5 business days. You'll receive the eVisa by email.
2
Prepare your documents
Print or save on your phone: the eVisa approval email, your return ticket, accommodation booking, and travel insurance. Keep them together in a folder or a clear plastic sleeve.
3
Arrive at Chișinău International Airport
At passport control, hand over your passport and the eVisa printout (or show it on your phone). The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Answer clearly and confidently. They'll stamp your passport with the entry date.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually nothing to declare for personal items. Exit into the arrivals hall.
