Rules in force · 11Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…Reach this subregion only from the EU side — Romania for …Pavements have broken kerbs, tram-rail dips and parked cars
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Eastern Europe ↗Reach this subregion only from the EU side — Romania for Moldova — through crossings run by recognised authorities; no route through Ukraine, Belarus or Russia is planned here.
- Eastern Europe ↗Re-read your government's advice for Moldova (it covers Transnistria) in the week you travel; the situation next door changes fast.
- Eastern Europe ↗Carry euros in cash for Transnistria and village Moldova; cards stop working at the Dniester.
- Moldova ↗Moldova is outside the EU and Schengen area and sets its own entry rules; check the official requirements for your passport.
- Moldova ↗Enter and leave Moldova through crossings run by the Moldovan authorities (for example Chișinău airport or the Romanian border), so your entry is recorded.
- Moldova ↗Transnistria has separate de facto controls, currency and limited consular access; read your government's advice before going. See the Transnistria page.
- Chișinău and the centre ↗Plan every leg outside Chișinău by pre-booked car, tour or minibus; wineries and Orheiul Vechi have no reliable public transport.
- Chișinău ↗Pavements have broken kerbs, tram-rail dips and parked cars: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Chișinău ↗Winery visits are day trips by pre-booked tour or driver: drink-driving limits are strict, so do not plan to drive yourself after a tasting.
