Program
Moldova IT Park Residency
Typical max stay
3 months
Moldova has no formal Digital Nomad Visa — 90-day visa-free for most Western passports (non-Schengen, non-EU). The IT Park residency offers a 7% flat-tax route for tech freelancers willing to register a Moldovan entity (legal residency via business registration, separate from the tourist track).
Editorial summary, not legal advice. Verify with the relevant consulate before applying — visa programs change with little notice.
Wolt
Wolt has the better restaurant coverage in Chișinău; Glovo runs a thinner network. Yandex Eda is the Russian-language alternative.
Editorial pick based on which app actually has restaurants AND working couriers in this city. Coverage shifts — apps pull out of markets all the time.
Yango
Yango (Yandex's international ride-hailing brand) has the deepest fleet in Chișinău; Bolt is the EU-aligned alternative for those avoiding Russian-platform exposure.
Editorial pick based on coverage, foreign-card UX, and how reliably drivers actually accept trips. Markets shift — apps pull out of countries and surge pricing varies wildly.
