Moldova


This advice has been reviewed and reissued with an amendment to the Summary (consular assistance 2007). The overall level of the advice has not changed.
There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.


We advise caution if considering travelling to Transnistria, where there is no official British representation and British consular services may be limited in their ability to help. You should consult the British Embassy, Chisinau for the most up-to-date information.


The main types of incident for which British Nationals required consular assistance in Moldova in 2007 were: dealing with hospitalisations; and help in leaving the country. The Moldovan authorities are strictly enforcing penalties (including deportation) against those who overstay. See the Entry Requirements section of this advice for more details.


You should be vigilant to petty crime, particularly in Chisinau. Leave your passport, travel documents and other valuable items in a safe place. But you should always carry a photocopy of your passport for identification purposes, as police checks are frequent.


There are strong penalties for possession or use of drugs and avoid taking photographs of military or government installations. See the Local Laws and Customs section of this advice for more details.


We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake. See the General (Insurance) section of this advice and Travel Insurance for more details.
