About the Embassy of Moldova in Ukraine
The ambassador is Victor Chirilă, according to the directory of foreign diplomatic missions published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (October 2026), which gives 7 April 2026 as the date credentials were presented. Moldova is also represented by the Consulate General of Moldova in Odesa. The office is in the capital, Kyiv, about 29 km in a straight line from Boryspil International Airport. Ukraine’s airspace remains closed to civil flights, according to GOV.UK travel advice (October 2026).
Do Moldovan citizens need a visa for Ukraine?
Holders of ordinary Moldovan passports do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period in Ukraine, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine’s entry-regime table (as of 8 June 2023). Ukraine is not part of the Schengen area and applies its own visa rules.
