Moldova Work Permit & Visa — Process and Timelines

Work Permit Process

The Moldovan employer applies for the candidate’s work permit through the Bureau for Migration and Asylum (BMA) or the relevant regional authority.
The average processing time is around 19–20 weeks (approximately 65–96 working days) under normal circumstances.
The duration may vary depending on the region, job type, and number of applications being reviewed.
Important: Delays can occur if documents are incomplete, additional verification is needed, or the regional office faces a backlog.

Visa Application (Type D – Long-Stay Work Visa)

After the work permit is approved, the applicant must apply for a Type D Work Visa at the Moldovan Embassy or Consulate in their home country.
Visa processing begins only after the in-person appointment and submission of all required documents.
Standard processing time is usually 15–20 working days, but in some cases, it can extend up to 30–60 calendar days depending on the embassy’s workload or document verification needs.
Note: The visa is granted only for the specific employer and job role mentioned in the work permit. Non-EU citizens must have a confirmed job offer approved by Moldovan authorities before applying.
