Moldova Religious & Humanitarian Activities Visa (D/RU) from Bangladesh
The Moldova Religious & Humanitarian Activities Visa (D/RU) is a Long-Stay Type D Visa for foreign nationals travelling to Moldova for religious or humanitarian activities.
Before applying, you must have a genuine connection with an eligible religious institution or humanitarian organisation in Moldova. For Bangladeshi applicants, the required invitation must come through Moldova’s General Inspectorate for Migration (IGM).
In addition, applicants normally need a volunteer contract or collaboration agreement and supporting documents from the Moldovan organization.
Once the required Moldova-side documents are ready, you can submit your visa documents to our Mirpur DOHS, Dhaka Office for processing support. Sticker Visa provides documentation and visa processing support for Moldova D/RU applications through VFS Global under the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova in New Delhi.
If you need help preparing or reviewing your documents, you may take our Visa Consulting Support.
Important: Sticker Visa does not arrange religious organisations, humanitarian organisations, volunteer placements, collaboration agreements or IGM invitations in Moldova.
