The Business Visa Program (BVP) was designed to support the bilateral trade and investment between the United States of America and the Republic of Moldova, and to facilitate visa processing for business travelers while, in the same time, maintaining the highest visa security standards possible. The Consular Department encourages companies to plan ahead and to obtain visas in advance for staff who may have a future need to travel.

To qualify for the program the Company must be a member in good standing of the American Chamber of Commerce in Moldova.
AmCham Moldova Members interested to participate in this program must submit a sample letter (Attachment A). The original of this letter will be held by the U.S. Embassy Consular Department as verification of the company’s participation in the Business Visa Program.

This service is offered to the following individuals:
- Business visa: ONLY to the direct full-time employees of AmCham Member companies;
- Business/Travel visa: Only to the AmCham Member Companies CEO and their immediate family.

*Please note that AmCham does not guarantee that applicant will receive a visa, nor we can influence the decision of the Embassy. The Embassy does not provide any explanations to the AmCham about visa refusals.
