Hello,
I recently heard from one of the travel agents in Moldova that it is not required to register with the authorities within 3 days of arrival in Moldova, in fact i was informed that there is NO Registration required during my stay in Moldova, it is said that this rule has been in effect since Aril 6th 2006, anyone knows any details about this ?
I find it hard to beleive they changed this rule, is there anyone who can confirm this ??
I was in Chisinau in July/August of this year and still registered with the authorities. When I did no one mentioned that it wasn't required. If your going soon I would still register just in case and see what they tell you there. It's not very expensive and only takes about 15 or 20 minutes.
thanx John,
I am also confused about the registration, i was informed that you need to take the person who invites you along for the registration, now my invite is from a travel agency, the travel agency says its not required... now if i need to register and if I need the person who invited me to accompany me, then i would have to get the travel agent to come agong with me... I dont think this would be a problem but certainly a pain in the @$$, now for the registration where do you register and what documents is required ?
The first time I went to Chisinau the agency I went through did the registration for me. I only had to give them my passport with valid visa and they returned my documents the next day. If your uncomfortable being without your passport for a day then I'm sure you can go with them.
I also was in Chisinau during July?August forthree weeks. I heard mention that it was no longer neccessary to register, but sent my passport to the front desk for registration just in case. The manager was not aware of any change in the law and registered me as she always has. I generally receive my passport back within the hour.
i think some persons in moldova want to make some additional money.
in fact: registration is NOT longer necessary. starting from spring 2006.
just follow official moldovan sources and you will find it correct.
havn´t done or let done any registration since spring 2006.
I have also been there several times, last time at end of August. The folks that rent me my apartment say it was no longer necessary. I was not asked for the registration at my exit from the country.
