Overview

Fast-track visa for IT managers, investors, and highly qualified specialists to work in Moldova's technology sector, with permits up to 4 years for management and 2 years for specialists.

The Long-Stay Information Technology Visa (Type D/IT) was established to support Moldova's growing digital economy, specifically under the framework of Law no. 77/2016 regarding Information Technology Parks. This visa fills a critical gap by providing a streamlined, fast-track entry pathway for highly skilled foreign professionals and investors whose expertise is essential for the development of the national IT sector. It is designed to attract international talent to reside and work within the country's specialized IT ecosystem, fostering innovation and technological growth.

This visa is intended for IT managers, investors, and highly qualified specialists who possess competencies vital to the production of technologies, processes, or management in the IT field. Applicants must be employed by or hold a management position in a legal entity that is a registered resident of a Moldovan IT park. What makes this visa distinctive is its direct alignment with the country's IT Park incentives, offering a dedicated route for those contributing to the sector's strategic development while facilitating their transition to temporary residence.
