Moldovan Citizenship: Routes, Requirements and Procedure
Citizenship of the Republic of Moldova can be acquired by several distinct routes, and choosing the correct legal basis is the single most important decision in the whole file: the same applicant can be refused under naturalisation and admitted under recognition, depending on their origin. This guide explains every ground provided by the Citizenship Law of the Republic of Moldova No. 1024/2000 — birth, recognition, naturalisation, restoration and adoption — the conditions attaching to each, the documents required, how the procedure runs, and why Moldova permits dual citizenship. It is written for the diaspora and for foreign nationals, from a practitioner's perspective.
