Over one million four hundred thousand Moldovans traveled to Schengen with biometric passports for four years since the visa regime was liberalized.Most of them crossed the crossing point of Leuşeni - Albita - over 560 thousand. Another 273 thousand Moldovans left the country through Chisinau International Airport and 256 thousand - through the Cahul - Oancea customs.
According to the European Border Police and Coast Guard Agency, only 0.3 percent of those who wanted to enter the Schengen area received a refusal.
After the liberalization of the visa regime, Moldovans can visit in 26 countries in the Schengen area. However, the biometric passport does not offer the possibility of having a job.
