Moldova Embassy Vienna

Before your visit

Löwengasse 47/10 in Vienna’s 3rd district (Landstraße) is where the embassy is based.

• Emergencies outside office hours: +43 1 961 10 30 27.

The embassy and its staff

Ambassador Victoria Rosa has headed the embassy since September 2024. Its accreditation extends beyond Austria to Slovakia. The Austrian Foreign Ministry’s diplomatic list names 7 accredited diplomats. Do not confuse the embassy with Moldova’s permanent mission to the OSCE and the United Nations and other international organisations in Vienna: that mission deals with multilateral diplomacy only.

Which Moldovan office is responsible for me?

The consular section in Vienna is responsible for Moldovan citizens in all of Austria. Three honorary consulates (Innsbruck, Neuhaus and St. Pölten) can help with information and some formalities, but passports are normally issued by the embassy.

Consular services

Requests the consular staff deal with:

• Powers of attorney and other notarial acts
• Certificates for pensions and social security abroad

Fees and current requirements are published on the embassy website (https://www.austria.mfa.md).

Documents checklist

The most frequent applications and the documents the Moldovan authorities ask for:

Moldovan passport (application abroad)

• Embassies and consulates accept the application and send it to the Public Services Agency, which produces the passport
• Book an appointment online and apply in person; the photo is usually taken at the mission
• Your Moldovan ID card (not required for holders of a passport with an “authorised emigration” stamp)
• All your current and expired passports, and civil status records (birth, marriage or divorce certificates)
• Proof of payment of the consular fee (payment methods vary by mission)
• Lost, damaged or expired passport and urgent return: an emergency travel document valid only for the return to Moldova
