According to the legislation of the Republic of Moldova, depending on the basis for which it is issued, the residence permit can be granted for a period of up to 5 years, and in the cases provided by law – for another period of time.
Thus, a foreigner either extends residence permit validity or must leave the country, otherwise he runs the risk of being held administratively liable.
The process of extending the right of residence is very important for all foreign citizens who live in the Republic of Moldova, because if the residence permit expires and the foreigner has not submitted the documents for the extension, this fact generates problems related to the legality of the foreigner’s stay in the country.
In general, the procedure for extending the residence permit is much simpler than obtaining the initial right of residence, however, it also contains a number of certain legal subtleties.
Therefore, if you do not have experience, knowledge in the field of migration law, or simply do not want to extend your residence permit on your own, it is necessary to seek the help of qualified lawyers.
