The U.S. Embassy in Chisinau is now processing all categories of nonimmigrant visas, but there are significant wait times for appointments. We are offering as many appointments as local conditions, resources, and safety considerations allow. We will continue to  increase appointment capacity as local conditions improve.

If you have a humanitarian or other emergency and need to travel immediately, please follow the guidance provided at https://ustraveldocs.com/md/ru/expedited-appointment to request an emergency nonimmigrant visa appointment.
