Türkiye to Moldova visa requirements

Turkish ordinary passport holders can enter Moldova visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. No visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is needed for short visits. As of 2026, Turkey is on Moldova's list of visa-exempt countries. Turkish ordinary passport holders may travel to Moldova for tourism, family visits, business meetings, or transit without any visa for up to 90 days within a rolling 180-day period. Turkey is one of the few countries whose citizens may even enter Moldova on a machine-readable or chip national ID card instead of a passport. Moldova is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the EU Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here; Moldova operates its own independent 90/180 visa-free count. At the border, travelers should be ready to show a travel document valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended departure date (and issued within the last 10 years), proof of onward/return travel, accommodation details, and evidence of sufficient funds (around EUR 30 per day, minimum EUR 300 for shorter stays). Visa-free status covers tourism only; paid work, study, or long-term residence (over 90 days) requires a national long-stay (Type D) visa and/or residence permit applied for in advance. Moldova is an EU candidate country, and while visa-free access for Turkish citizens is well established, travelers should reconfirm entry rules close to departure as policies can change.
