Canada visa for Moldovan citizens

Canadian passport holders enjoy visa-free entry to Moldova for stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period, offering generous time to explore this Eastern European gem. For those planning longer visits or specific activities beyond tourism, such as study or work, two distinct visa types are available to facilitate extended stays. Travelers from Canada should prepare for a significant journey, as direct flights to Chișinău are unavailable; expect multiple layovers, typically through major European hubs like Frankfurt or Vienna, to reach this landlocked nation renowned for its burgeoning viticulture and rich historical tapestry. Upon arrival, visitors will find the Moldovan Leu (MDL) as the local currency, requiring exchange from Euros or USD as Canadian dollars are not readily convertible.
