Moldova may impose visas on citizens of Russia, Türkiye and nine other countries
Moldovan Prime Minister Vasile Tofan said that, as part of European integration, the country may end visa-free entry for citizens of 11 countries, including Russia, Belarus, Türkiye, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, but did not give a timeline.
Moldova, which is moving toward joining the European Union, may introduce visa requirements for citizens of 11 countries whose nationals currently enter the country without visas. Prime Minister Vasile Tofan said this on the TV8 program “Cutia Neagră,” noting that the gradual alignment of visa policy with EU rules is mandatory for candidate countries.
“We want to continue along the European path. I am not ready to name a date. If this is required by EU regulations, I believe we must adopt decisions that will allow us to advance in the European integration process,” Tofan said.
According to a European Commission report, Moldova must align its visa regime for citizens of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, Russia, Tajikistan, Türkiye, Uzbekistan and Vanuatu.
Other candidate countries have already taken such steps. Montenegro introduced visas for citizens of Russia, Belarus, China, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye on November 1, 2026. Albania ended its permanent visa-free regime for citizens of Belarus, while Bosnia and Herzegovina still has to introduce visas for citizens of Azerbaijan, Kuwait, Qatar, Türkiye, Russia and China.
