On Wednesday, the Moldovan government approved a draft law “On the admission, stay, and supervision of foreigners” developed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers, the document includes new concepts adapted to the legal framework of the European Union. According to the draft law, a residence card will now become a single document confirming the identity and legal status of foreigners.
To strengthen the admission process and ensure effective management of migration flows, foreigners will be required to justify the purpose of their stay in the republic by providing relevant documents (contracts, certificates, invitations, etc.).
In addition, mandatory confirmation of financial solvency during the period of stay in the country will be introduced.
“The criteria and level of means of subsistence will be established by subsequent regulations depending on the purpose of the stay,” the document notes.
A “flexible regime” will apply to short-term stays (up to 90 days). It is expected that the procedures for submitting applications, approvals, notifications, and reporting will be digitized.
The law is intended to stimulate “competitive advantages for sectors of the economy with labor shortages” and “support companies operating in sectors where the local workforce is insufficient by hiring third-country nationals for various purposes.” At the same time, however, there are plans to reduce illegal employment.
At the end of 2025, more than 21,500 foreigners and stateless persons from more than 130 countries were registered in Moldova. Of these, more than 5,600 were eligible for permanent residence, and about 16,000 were eligible for temporary residence.
