C/A — Short-Stay Business Visa (Type C/A)

The Short-Stay Business Visa (Type C/A) is intended for foreign nationals traveling to Moldova for economic or commercial purposes. This includes attending business meetings, conferences, seminars, and negotiations, as well as checking the operation of goods acquired under commercial contracts. It is also suitable for individuals who are or will become shareholders or stockholders in Moldovan trading companies. This visa is strictly for professional activities and does not authorize the holder to seek local employment or receive a salary from a Moldovan employer.

This visa is a vital tool for international professionals looking to explore investment opportunities or maintain existing commercial relationships within the Moldovan market. Applicants are expected to provide documentation from their business partners or the inviting organization in Moldova to verify the professional nature of the trip. Like other Type C visas, it allows for a stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is essential for business travelers to ensure their documentation clearly outlines the commercial purpose of their visit to facilitate a smooth entry process.
