Exercise increased caution with higher advice levels in some areas

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand because of the volatile security environment and military conflict in Ukraine. 

There is a state of emergency in Moldova.

The New Zealand Government is limited in its ability to provide consular assistance to New Zealand citizens in Moldova, particularly in the Transnistria region.

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Moldova should be aware of are:

  • Civil unrest - protests and demonstrations tend to attract a heavy policy presence. Avoid all protests and demonstrations. 
  • Crime - watch out for petty crime, such as theft, especially in Chisinau. Leave passports and valuables in a safe place. Be cautious when using ATMs. 
  • Terrorism - attacks could target areas visited by foreigners. 

See below for detailed travel advice.
