Visa requirements for Moldovans willing to travel to the European Union member states will be eased as of July 1, 2013. The Council of the EU has informed the Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday about the enactment of the decision from this date on. A similar amendment on the facilitation of the issuance of visas is applicable for Ukraine, as well.<\/p>\n

The amendment envisages lower or no visa fees and requires less paperwork for some categories of applicants. Therefore, the bill refers to the drivers conducting international cargo and passenger transportation services, journalists and the technical crew accompanying them in a professional capacity and close relatives (spouse, children, parents, grandparents and grandchildren) visiting citizens of Moldova legally residing in the EU.<\/p>\n

At the same time, visa facilities will have the participants in official EU cross-border cooperation programmes, persons participating in scientific, cultural and artistic activities, including university and other exchange programs, students and post-graduate students who regularly travel for the purposes of study or educational training, participants in international sports events and the participants in official exchange programmes organized by twin cities or other localities.<\/p>\n

As of July 1st, the European embassies in Moldova will be able to provide information and issue visas based on the simplified visa regime with the EU.<\/p>\n

Romanian member of the EPP, Marian-Jean Marinescu, who is group responsible for steering the changes to the Moldova agreement through Parliament, told Moldova.ORG a month ago that this move will “encourage the country to carry out reforms in the area of freedom, security and justice and create a new opportunity for EU investment and an opening for the labor market.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
