Indonesia to Moldova visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Moldova. The most practical route is the Moldova eVisa (40 EUR), but Indonesia is on Moldova's invitation-required list, so you must first obtain an official invitation from the General Inspectorate for Migration before the eVisa can be issued. As of mid-2026, Moldova is not visa-free for Indonesian ordinary passport holders and is not part of the Schengen area (it is an EU candidate, not a member, so ETIAS and the Schengen 90/180 rule do not apply to Moldova). Indonesian tourists must hold a visa. Moldova operates an official electronic visa system (evisa.gov.md) that issues short-stay (type C) visas, and Indonesian citizens are eligible to apply online rather than visiting an embassy. The eVisa costs 40 EUR and permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Examination normally takes up to 10 calendar days but may be extended to 20 days. Critically, Indonesia is one of roughly 30 nationalities that Moldova requires to present an invitation issued by the General Inspectorate for Migration (IGM) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs; this invitation is requested in Moldova by a host (an individual resident or a legal entity such as a hotel/tour operator), is processed within about 10 working days, and stays valid for 90 days. The invitation document must be uploaded with the eVisa application. Because of this extra layer, travelers should budget several weeks of lead time. Diplomatic and service passport holders from Indonesia are exempt from the visa requirement, but this guide covers ordinary passports only.
