Moldova is a small but dynamic country in Eastern Europe with rich cultural traditions and comfortable living conditions. The repatriation program lets anyone who can prove Moldovan origin or ties to the country obtain Moldovan citizenship.

Legal grounds

The repatriation program is based on Moldovan law, which allows citizens of other countries to obtain Moldovan citizenship on the basis of confirmed family ties to Moldova.

Who can apply for citizenship

  • Descendants of citizens of Moldova or of citizens of the USSR born on the territory of modern Moldova.
  • People who were previously citizens of Moldova, or their descendants.
  • People who can prove family ties to Moldovans before 1940 - before the Moldavian SSR was formed.

The exact grounds and the list of documents depend on your family history. On a free consultation we check whether the program fits you.
