Moldova migration service pages rechecked
By Sam Parks · Last reviewed:
The General Inspectorate for Migration service, right-to-stay and temporary-stay pages were rechecked. They support current process, category and fee updates for employment, investment, study, family-reunification and permanent-residence records. The digital-nomad and Moldova IT-Park-specific mechanisms are not fully established by those pages and remain flagged rather than being silently re-dated.
What changed
Policy claim 1
The IGM right-to-stay page says residence applications are submitted in person at its one-stop shops, may be examined for up to 90 calendar days, and should generally be filed at least 30 days before the current status expires.

Policy claim 5
The linked permanent-residence document and family-reunification notification link were not retrievable during this check, so route-specific eligibility details and digital-nomad/IT-Park-specific claims remain exceptions for human follow-up.
