Citizens of the Republic of Moldova will continue to be able to travel without visas in European countries that are part of the Schengen Area.
The European Commission recently adopted the eighth report on the Union's visa suspension mechanism.
According to Radio Chisinau, the EU executive has recommended, among other things, that the Moldovan authorities step up their efforts to reduce the number of unfounded asylum applications submitted by Moldovan citizens in member states.
Moldovan citizens have been able to travel without visas to the Schengen Area since 2014.
In April 2025, 11 years after the visa regime was lifted, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Chisinau released data showing that during this period, approximately 2.7 million Moldovans benefited from the liberalized visa regime, traveling to the European Union more than 18 million times.
