Why this verdict

Indian citizens are mapped from Moldova MFA's visa-required list as requiring a Moldovan visa for ordinary short visits. This guidance 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.
