U.S. citizens visiting Moldova do not need a visa.  They are able to stay in Moldova for up to 90 days within a six-month period without registration.  Residence and work permits are required for stays over 90 days.  Visitors to Moldova are registered at the border.  Immigration, residence, and work permits usually need to be extended annually, but may be issued for up to five years.
Moldovan law requires everyone to carry identity documents.  Moldovan police have the right to request identity documents from any person.  Individuals who fail to produce appropriate ID upon request may be subject to detention and fines.  Therefore, Americans are advised to carry their U.S. passports (or a copy of their passport’s biographic information page) with their registration card, if applicable, or a Moldovan-issued identification document when in public.
