How we checkNo visa. German passport holders can enter and stay in Moldova for up to 90 days without a visa, if they do not take up work.
The Auswärtiges Amt says German citizens need no visa for entry and a stay of up to 90 days without taking up paid work. A passport, a provisional passport, an ID card and a child's passport are accepted, and travel documents must be valid at least three months beyond the expected departure date. A stay of more than 90 days or work requires a residence permit, applied for right after arrival.
