What is transit visa B in Moldova?

The transit visa (type B), in its turn, is an authorization that allows entry into the territory of the Republic of Moldova, for the purpose of transit.
The transit visa is issued at the request of the foreigner who is going to transit the territory of the Republic of Moldova in order to travel to a third country for the period of validity of the visa of the destination country and, depending on the case, for a period that will not exceed the term of one year, with the right to be on the territory of the country no more than 5 days for a transit. The transit visa can be single or multiple entries and exits.

If the fulfillment of these conditions is not proven, the foreigner may be refused entry to the Republic of Moldova, even if he holds a valid visa.
