Why this verdict

Chinese citizens are mapped from Moldova MFA's visa-required list as requiring a Moldovan visa for ordinary short visits. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: residence permits, supporting visas, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, airline routing, border checks and transit control can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.

Conditional rules

Holder of a valid residence permit or valid visa, excluding transit visas, issued by an EU or Schengen state, the United Kingdom, the United States or Canada Conditional

Moldova MFA footnote [2] lists this as a document-based exemption. It is not ordinary visa-free access for the passport alone.
