Current Travel Situation
Moldova to Taiwan: What You Need to Know
Taiwan (officially the Republic of China, ROC) handles its own visa policy independently. Moldovan citizens are not among the visa-exempt nationalities for Taiwan and must apply for a visitor visa through the nearest TECO (Taiwan's de facto embassy in countries without formal diplomatic relations).
The nearest TECO for Moldovan applicants is typically in Vienna, Austria, or Bucharest, Romania. Taiwan issues a Visitor Visa (single or multiple entry, up to 90 days stay) for tourism and short visits.
Taiwan is known for its modern cities (Taipei), traditional Chinese culture, stunning mountain scenery, and excellent food (night markets are a highlight). It is a safe and welcoming destination with good English signage.
Practical Tips
Taipei's MRT metro system is efficient and clean. Night markets (Shilin, Raohe) are a must for street food. The New Taiwan dollar (TWD) is the currency; cards are accepted in cities but carry cash for markets and small shops. Taroko Gorge and Alishan Mountain are spectacular day-trip destinations from Taipei. English signage is good throughout.
