Question
Hi Gomes, I would like to know how to get a visitors visa for moldova for a week. I have a friend who is sending me an invitation. There is no Moldovan Consulate in India. Can I get an on arrival visa??? How much will it cost. Also the same with Ecuador.

Thanks

Sumanth

Answer
Dear Sumanth,


1. For Moldova you'll need to go to a consulate or embassy.

Passport (must be valid at least 6 months beyond period of
intended stay) and visa are required.

Visitor must hold:
- return/onward ticket; and
- all documents required for next destination; and
- sufficient funds.

All visitors are required to register their passport with the authorities within 3 working days after arrival.

2. For Ecuador (need to know also transit points intended to be used, since additional visas are required)

Passport and visa required(must be valid at least 6 months on arrival).

Visitors are required to hold onward/return ticket and
sufficient funds.

Non-compliance with the visa regulations will result in
immediate deportation of passenger on arrival or fines of
USD 200.- if exceeding legal period of stay at passenger's
expense (payable on departure).
