What it means in practice

90 days is about three months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 January 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

Days in Moldova also add up over time: 90 days in any 180. Leaving and coming back does not reset that total, so earlier stays count. The stay calculator checks both limits when you add your earlier trips.

How Moldova counts your stay: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period; the 180 days are counted back from each day of stay.

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

  • Passport valid at least 3 months after planned departure, with at least one blank page
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Overstaying is penalised with fines and expulsion

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Plan to leave a day or two early. With 90 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
  • Extend before you run out. For longer stays apply for a residence permit at the General Inspectorate for Migration before your permitted stay ends.
  • Keep a record of every entry and exit. The period limit adds up all your stays, and border officers can see them.
  • What overstaying costs. Overstaying is penalised with fines and expulsion

Good to know

  • In Transnistria passports are checked but not stamped; you fill in a migration card in two copies and keep one to show when leaving. The de facto authorities may refuse entry.
