How we checkNo visa. Canadian passport holders can visit Moldova without a tourist visa for up to 90 days per 6-month period.
The Government of Canada says a tourist visa is not required for up to 90 days per 6-month period and that you must be able to show proof of a return or onward ticket when you enter. A regular Canadian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date you expect to leave Moldova and have at least one blank page.
