What exactly is the official special programme/status and why does it exist?

This is provisional residence for project implementation, covering two named categories: foreign nationals working in external assistance projects, and foreign nationals working in investment projects of national importance; it exists so foreign staff on these specific project types can reside in Moldova to perform them.

See recorded sources

Which specific population, role, circumstance or historical/legal situation does it cover?

It covers foreign nationals employed under an individual employment contract on an external assistance project, and separately foreign nationals working on a project that has been designated an investment project of national importance.

See recorded sources

What circumstance, event, relationship, nomination, invitation or status activates access?

Access is triggered by the alien's employment on a qualifying external-assistance project (evidenced by an individual employment contract), or by an application from the project implementer or the relevant public administration/beneficiary institution or organisation for an investment project of national importance.

What sponsor, authority, nomination, certification, evidence or other step must occur before the status can be obtained?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the steps or approvals needed before the status can be obtained.

Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_RESPONDE: Single cited item is an extension-list document (dynamics of local employment); R4 asks what prior step/evidence is needed before the status is obtained, which this does not answer (grant prerequisites are only said to be in R2/R3).)

What immigration status and rights result, how long do they last, can family be included, and what happens if the special qualifying circumstance ends?

The status is provisional residence, which can be extended (separate extension document lists exist); extension documents must be submitted at least 30 days before the authorised end of stay.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Duration of the permit is not stated.
  • Whether family can be included is not stated.
  • What happens if the project ends is not stated.
  • Effect on permanent residence: the GIM Permanent Residence page lists investment-project employees among the exceptions, but that sentence is a protected citation of other vias and is not reused here.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
