The Republic of Moldova simplifies the procedure for obtaining visas for 60 states, as well as residence permits for foreign investors for business and labor purposes. The initiative came from Prime Minister Pavel Filip.
Citizens from 60 countries will be able to obtain a visa for Moldova easily and the procedure for issuing residence that permits to work and for business purposes will be simplified. The topics were discussed during a meeting at the Government, at the initiative of Prime Minister Pavel Filip, who said that this would substantially increase the country's investment attractiveness, but also the number of tourists.
In order to simplify the procedure for issuing visas, it was proposed to amend the legislation in force. Following the change, for a visit, a tourist or business trip to the Republic of Moldova, only the visa application, accompanied by the valid passport of the applicant, will be sufficient.
Taking into account the specificity of the activity for obtaining the transport visa, the driving license, the vehicle registration documents and the authenticated copy of the transport company's license will be presented. At present, in order to obtain a visa in our country, people present the round-trip ticket, medical insurance, reservation at the accommodation and proof of the means of maintenance.
At the same time, in order to attract investment and liberalize the labor market, the procedure for issuing residence permits for work and business purposes will also be simplified.
The proposed changes will reduce the package of papers submitted for documentation from 10 to 6, and the terms for examining temporary work residence papers for immigrant workers will be reduced from 25 to 15 days.
