Why this verdict
South Korean citizens are mapped from Moldova MFA's visa-exempt list as visa-free for ordinary short visits, exit and transit. 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.
