Legal assistance with entry, residence, employment, family reunification and challenges to migration decisions in the Republic of Moldova.
Request a consultation ↗Refusal, revocation or return
The time limit and remedy depend on the decision received. Keep the decision, proof of service and a complete copy of the application file.
Documents to prepare
Passport, visa or permit, contracts, civil-status records, proof of accommodation and income, and correspondence with the General Inspectorate for Migration.
Practical points for your situation
Clarifying your current status
For the first discussion, identify your nationality, entry date, existing residence document and intended purpose. Mention pending applications and previous refusals. The procedure for a first application may differ from renewal of a right already granted.
A file tailored to the purpose of residence
Employment, family reunification and other grounds require different checks. The document list must reflect the particular circumstances, including the status of the inviting person or family member. A file accepted for another applicant should not be assumed sufficient for your case.
Documents issued abroad
Before incurring costs, check the requirements for translation, certification, apostille or legalisation of relevant documents. Compare names, dates and validity periods across the file. Identify missing items before submission and retain copies of everything sent.
Requests for further documents and refusals
Keep the authority’s complete message, application number and proof of receipt. A request for additional documents is different from a refusal decision. An adverse decision requires examination of its reasons, the procedure followed and available challenge options.
Situations requiring prompt review
Flag documents nearing expiry or receipt of a return measure. The effect of each step on residence and enforcement must be checked separately; filing an application should not be confused with a favourable decision. Granting a right depends on the relevant conditions and the competent authority’s decision.
Preparing for the first discussion
When arranging an appointment, briefly describe the issue, intended result and any approaching deadline. Prepare a timeline and a list of available and missing documents. Send sensitive records only after agreeing a communication channel. The consultation should clarify options, risks and steps requiring further evidence. Document preparation, representation and related expenses depend on the agreed scope of engagement; making an appointment should not be assumed to include all these services.
