Maximum Alerts / Moldova
Level published by the State Department on 06.07.2026 · read 13 October 2026 · source checked daily
Moldova — official level as of 13 October 2026: Level 2/4 ("Exercise Increased Caution"), from the U.S. Department of State. Maximum Insurance covers this country: hospital settled directly, unlimited repatriation, USD 1.5M, certificate on payment.
Every country has its own scale, so we ask them all the same question: is the whole country advised against?
An advisory covering only areas of the country does not raise the answer: it stays “No”, and the area is shown in the relevant column.
The level shown on this page — and across this site — is the one published by the U.S. State Department, from 1 (normal precautions) to 4 (do not travel). France and the United Kingdom publish their own advisories, with their own rules: they add to that level, they do not replace it.
In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services first, then Maximum: +41 22 ••• •• •• — 24/7 support number, an adviser stays with you to the end.
The 207 country pages — hospitals, pharmacies, police, embassies, emergency numbers, official advice from four governments, health, safety in figures, events in progress — read around the city you name. Your policy — benefits, the six steps, claims, articles. The site — prices, certificate, subscription. Nothing else: what it does not know, it says so and hands you to an adviser.
What I say on the phone
What to do, in this order
In immediate danger, call local emergency services first. Then contact assistance without delay; before engaging a service, seek approval under your policy. Cover is confirmed by the insurer.
Ask assistance where to get care and whether direct cover can be arranged. It confirms the facility and seeks the insurer's approval under your policy. In immediate danger, call local emergency services first.
Even for a pain you meant to shrug off. Without a medical certificate written on the spot, the same day, the insurer cannot cover the event — a certificate written after you return does not count.
The hospital desk sends the request to assistance. Direct payment depends on the insurer's approval and the policy; the call alone does not guarantee it. Have the response confirmed before relying on no up-front payment.
In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services immediately. For an arranged transfer or repatriation, contact assistance: the insurer's medical team decides on measures under the policy. A medical flight booked without approval may not be reimbursed.
Even if everything went well on the ground. Send your invoices and the medical report within 30 days; after that, compensation may be reduced or refused.
Places read from OpenStreetMap, within a circle of about 12 km: phone, email, address, website and hours when the source publishes them. No customer reviews, that source has none. Straight-line distances.
Notices vary by bank and vintage — yours prevails. On the right: the Maximum contract (public documents).
The country is not uniform: 2 regions advised against, fully or partly, by at least one official reading. Chișinău is not one of them.

Dernière actualisation le 11/03/2026, information toujours valable à la date du jour
Située à l’est du pays, la Transnistrie est une région séparatiste qui n’est pas contrôlée par le gouvernement moldave. Depuis le 28 février 2022 tous les points de passage entre l’Ukraine et la Transnistrie sont fermés. Les voyages en Transnistrie sont déconseillés sauf raison impérative. Les voyageurs étrangers peuvent rencontrer des difficultés aux points de contrôle qui se trouvent sur les routes menant en Transnistrie ou en sortant. Ces derniers sont sous le contrôle de militaires russes et des gardes frontières transnistriens non reconnus. Par ailleurs, ils doivent faire preuve d’une prudence renforcée et ne pas photographier les points de contrôle, les installations militaires, les forces de sécurité et d’autres sites d’importance stratégique (barrages hydroélectriques, et bâtiments gouvernementaux notamment). En cas de difficultés en Transnistrie, l’Ambassade de France à Chisinau ne pourra apporter ni assistance ni protection.
Le taux de délinquance est faible en République de Moldavie mais des vols peuvent se produire dans la capitale, Chisinau, et dans les endroits très fréquentés (transports en commun, bars, restaurants).
Lors de sortie dans les clubs, restaurants et casinos, il convient de ne pas laisser ses boissons et aliments sans surveillance ni d’en accepter de la part d’inconnus, car ils sont susceptibles de contenir de la drogue.
Les accidents de la route sont fréquents en République de Moldavie en raison de l’imprudence de certains conducteurs, de l’état des routes et de leur mauvais éclairage.
La République de Moldavie se situe dans une zone sismique. En cas de séjour dans le pays il convient donc de consulter la fiche spécifique séismes .
En cas de séisme, les voyageurs sont invités à prendre contact au plus vite avec leurs proches, ou avec l’ambassade si les communications avec l’étranger sont impossibles.

FDFA update note — Ces conseils pour les voyages ont été publiés avec des modifications marginales. L’appréciation de la situation reste valable de manière inchangée. (published 05.08.2026)
En raison de la guerre menée par la Russie contre l'Ukraine, la situation sécuritaire peut rester tendue. En raison de la précarité de la situation économique ainsi que des tensions politiques, des manifestations ont lieu. Des affrontements entre manifestants et forces de sécurité sont possibles. Le risque d'attentats terroristes ne peut pas être exclu en République de Moldova non plus. La rubrique terrorisme et enlèvements attire l'attention sur les risques liés au terrorisme. Terrorisme et enlèvements Avant et pendant le voyage, informez-vous au travers des médias et par le biais de votre tour-opérateur sur la situation sécuritaire actuelle. Conformez-vous aux directives des autorités locales. Tenez-vous à l'écart des manifestations et rassemblements de foule de tout genre.
La description des zones à risques repose sur des données approximatives; les risques ne peuvent se restreindre à des zones délimitées. Zones frontalières avec l’Ukraine Il existe un risque de dommages corporelles et matériels dus à la chute de débris de missiles ou de drones. Observez les informations et les recommandations des autorités locales. Transnistrie (région située à l'est du fleuve Dnjestr) Il est déconseillé de se rendre en Transnistrie. La Transnistrie se soustrait au contrôle du gouvernement central de Chisinau. En raison de guerre menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine, la situation en Transnistrie reste imprévisible, il n'est pas exclu qu’elle s’aggrave. Il est interdit de photographier des installations militaires ainsi que des édifices publics (bâtiments gouvernementaux, aéroports, ponts, etc.). En raison de la partition de fait du pays, il est très difficile pour la Suisse – voire impossible selon les cas – d’aider en cas d’urgence.
La petite délinquance est présente (vols, cambriolages). Il est notamment recommandé de prendre les mesures de précaution suivantes:
Des fortes pluies peuvent provoquer des inondations et des glissements de terrain, pouvant endommager les infrastructures. Suivez les prévisions météorologiques ainsi que les avertissements et les instructions des autorités locales. State Hydrometeorological Service Des tremblements de terre se produisent parfois. Institute of Geology and Seismology Si une catastrophe naturelle devait se produire durant votre séjour, prenez immédiatement contact avec vos proches et suivez les instructions des autorités locales.

Transnistria is outside the control of the Moldovan government. There is widespread military activity in Ukraine, including close to some Moldovan borders. There were explosions in the region in 2022.
All border crossings between Ukraine and Transnistria are temporarily closed.
The self-declared Transnistrian parliament has increased powers for prosecutions and pre-trial detentions against people regarded as extremists. They interpret extremism as including many activities that British nationals would consider legitimate, including moderate protest or freedom of expression.

There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.
UK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out how to reduce your risk from terrorism while abroad .
Although there is no recent history of terrorism in Moldova, attacks cannot be ruled out.
Since autumn 2022 there have been regular political demonstrations in central Chisinau, and occasionally elsewhere. These are likely to continue. They have been small-scale and generally peaceful and well-policed. However, there have been organised attempts by certain groups to use these demonstrations as a cover for causing disturbances. Stay away from all political demonstrations.
The UK supports humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, including supporting Ukrainian refugees in Moldova, through the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). If you’re considering providing humanitarian support to Ukrainians in Moldova, check:
Be alert to:
Keep your valuables and passport in a safe place, such as a hotel safe.
Streets, pavements and public paths are not well-maintained or well-lit, including in Chisinau and other cities. Consider carrying a torch.
Some Asian and Afro-Caribbean visitors have reported being verbally abused or assaulted. Visitors also report police harassment.
There are frequent police checks and police officers have the right to ask for ID on the street. Always carry a copy of the photo page of your passport with you.
You must get permission from the Moldovan Department of Monuments to take any artwork or antiques out of the country. If you do not, customs officials could seize the goods and you could face criminal charges.
Avoid taking photos of military and government facilities, including airports and power stations. You’re likely to be detained for questioning or arrested if you’re caught.
Same-sex sexual activity is not illegal in Moldova, but the Moldovan government does not formally recognise same-sex partners. There is an active social and lobbying group on gay and lesbian issues in Chisinau. Public attitudes are less tolerant and showing affection in public can receive unwanted attention.

Child surrogacy is strictly prohibited throughout Moldova. The British Embassy will not be able to provide support if you get involved in any way.
Illegal drugs, even small quantities of drugs (class A, B or C) including cannabis, carry severe penalties. You should expect a long jail sentence and heavy fines for possessing, using or smuggling illegal drugs, including when transiting through the airport.

Airports in Moldova have excellent technology and security for detecting illegal items. This is also used to scan the baggage of transiting passengers.
Paying by card is now generally widespread, however you may not always be able to pay this way, particularly outside the capital, Chisinau. The most widely accepted foreign currencies are US dollars and euros. Carry some euros in cash. Notes should be in perfect condition, or they may be refused. It’s not always easy to exchange British pounds for local currency. ATMs in Transnistrian banks will not accept cards from non-Transnistrian banks. The currency used in Transnistria is the Transnistrian ruble. Outside Transnistria, you cannot exchange Moldovan lei or other currencies into rubles, or rubles into other currencies. Attempting to pay in Transnistria in currencies other than the ruble is considered illegal by the self-declared authorities.
