The process of documenting foreigners will be simplified, and the requirements in this regard will be expressly provided for, in order to exclude potential risks of corruption. A decision in this regard was approved today at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.
The document will improve the quality of the services offered by the Migration and Asylum Office of the MAI, will contribute to the reduction of cases of interpretation of established norms and will facilitate access to the Republic of Moldova for holders of valid accreditation cards, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration. Also, the procedures are to be facilitated for some categories of foreigners, such as holders of residence permits issued by Canada, the USA, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as holders of travel documents issued by the Council of Europe, the European Union and other organizations.
