Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Completed Visa C form through the current VFS India route | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. This guide follows the Embassy/VFS submission route for Indian residents. Complete the current prescribed form accurately for the actual purpose and follow the centre’s appointment and submission instructions. The Embassy also offers a distinct government eVisa route, but this physical-file guide does not treat its upload/photo process as identical. The current VFS notice says acceptance resumed at all India locations on 1 September 2026; confirm actual appointment availability. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Original passport issued within ten years and valid three months after departure | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Use the ordinary Indian passport for the application, issued within ten years and valid at least three months beyond intended departure from Moldova. Retain the actual document and required colour copies. The invitation approval-stage six-month passport-copy rule is a separate host-stage requirement; it is not silently substituted for the published visa-stage rule. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Two matte colour 35 by 45 mm paper photos, no older than one month; confirm count | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The VFS C checklist lists two recent matte colour photos, 35 by 45 mm; its photo guidance specifies white background, 70 to 80% face coverage, no older than one month, and rejects scanned/colour-photocopied photos. Mission/singular wording differs, so carry the two specified for this VFS scope and confirm current receiving-centre count. Do not import the electronic photo process. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Already-issued IGM invitation for the actual trip, within its validity | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. This scope already holds an invitation issued by Moldova’s General Inspectorate for Migration for the actual tourism/private/business trip. Keep the issued document and required colour copy. The service page states 90-day validity from issuance and visa application within 90 days of approval; satisfy both actual dates and do not assume an appointment/upload extends validity. Initial invitation approval and exemption claims are outside this guide. Confirm original-versus-copy handling for the physical file. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Inviter stay-cost and possible removal undertaking | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The IGM process requires the inviter’s declaration undertaking costs related to the visitor’s stay and possible removal if the visitor does not depart within the permitted period. Personally funded hotel/travel does not erase the actual undertaking. Preserve all signed obligations; the complete declaration form was not independently recovered, so no narrower liability or absence of other actual obligations is claimed. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Already-invited scope; invitation-list conflict does not create an exemption | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The official eVisa invitation-nationality list includes India, while the currently indexed central MFA list omits India. The reason for that difference was not established. This guide relies on an already-issued IGM invitation and does not tell every Indian applicant that an invitation is universally required or universally waived. Online submission also does not remove an invitation requirement where it applies. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Own bank statement issued within ten days; EUR 30 per day and applicable EUR 300 floor | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Supply a bank statement issued no longer than ten days before submission, showing at least EUR 30 per stay day and at least EUR 300 where the stay is shorter than ten days. This scope uses applicant funds rather than the alternative maintenance commitment. Holding an IGM invitation does not generally waive this financial row. The ten days describe issue freshness, not a ten-day account-history requirement. No universal three-month bank history, bank stamp/sign, ITR or payslip period was established; confirm any additional current format request. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Round-trip reservation and day-by-day itinerary | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide a valid return-trip reservation and the day-by-day itinerary required by the India provider. Keep dates consistent with the actual purpose, invitation, accommodation and insurance. The checklist says reservation; it is not converted into a universal instruction to buy a non-refundable ticket before approval. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Actual hotel arrangements; IGM accommodation exception retained | recommended | visa application | Example from this named route only. This applicant genuinely stays in a personally funded hotel. Keep the booking/address consistent with the invitation and itinerary. The India C checklist expressly excepts IGM-invitation holders from the separate accommodation/maintenance evidence row; hotel prepayment or a notarised private-host maintenance form is not made universal in this scope. This exception does not waive applicant funds or erase host liability. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Moldova-wide whole-stay insurance, minimum EUR 30,000 | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide travel medical insurance valid throughout Moldova for the entire intended stay, covering medical repatriation, emergency medical treatment/hospitalisation and death-related expenses for at least EUR 30,000. This amount comes from Moldova’s own India checklist; it is not assumed merely because Schengen uses the same figure. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Colour photocopies of all originals actually required in the file | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. VFS requests colour photocopies of original Indian documents and documents received from Moldova submitted with the application. Keep copies of passport/previous visas, invitation and any other actually applicable originals. The examples include PCC/contracts but do not make a PCC, contract, apostille or certified-copy charge mandatory for every short visitor. |
| India to Moldova: tourism with an approved IGM invitation: Confirm current visa, VFS service and logistics payments | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Use the current official VFS/Embassy fee and payment instructions for this channel, retaining receipts. The provider and mission publish differing fee figures; do not assume an old INR conversion or eVisa/consular total is interchangeable. VFS service/logistics costs are separate from Enuncia processing. |
