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 letter and carry it with your passport — immigration will stamp it on arrival.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Oman passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Moldova. Moldova does not require 6 months beyond departure, but airlines may enforce it — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Chișinău Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing your exit from Moldova or the Schengen area. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a notarized invitation letter from your host in Moldova. Border officials may ask to see where you are staying. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a recent bank statement or enough cash (around €50 per day) to cover your stay. Moldova rarely checks this, but it can come up if you look under-resourced. | Recommended |
eVisa is mandatory — no visa on arrival
Omani passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Moldova. You must have an approved eVisa before you board your flight. The application is straightforward, but don't leave it until the last minute.
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 when you apply for the eVisa. If your passport expires sooner, renew it first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Moldova eVisa website (evisa.gov.md). Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around €20-€40 depending on processing speed). Submit and wait for approval — typically 3-5 business days.
2
Prepare your documents
Once your eVisa is approved, print a copy and save it on your phone. Also print or save your return ticket, accommodation booking, and travel insurance certificate. Keep them together in a folder or on your phone for quick access.
3
Arrive at Chișinău International Airport
At passport control, present your passport, eVisa printout, and return ticket. The officer may also ask for your accommodation address. Answer clearly and confidently. The process usually takes 2-5 minutes.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After clearing immigration, head to baggage claim. There are ATMs and currency exchange desks in the arrivals hall. Taxis are available outside — use the official taxi app or a ride-hailing service to avoid overcharging.
