Kosovo Visa Requirements for Moldova Citizens

Visa required

Moldova passport holders need a visa for Kosovo, issued by an embassy or consulate before travel.

Kosovo's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says nationals of countries to which Kosovo applies a visa regime who hold a valid biometric residence permit issued by a Schengen-area state, and holders of a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa, are exempt from the need for a Kosovo visa for entry, transit and stay. Their stay in Kosovo is limited to 15 days.

“Shtetasit e vendeve për të cilët Republika e Kosovës aplikon regjim vizash por të cilët kanë leje qëndrim valid biometrik të lëshuar nga njëri ndër shtetet e Zonës Schengen, po ashtu bartësit e vizës valide shumë-hyrëse të Schengen-it lirohen nga nevoja për tu pajisur me vizë kosovare për hyrje, transit dhe qëndrimi në territorin e Republikës së Kosovës. Qendrimi i tyre brenda territorit të Republikës së Kosovës kufizohet në 15 ditë.”
