Reggie,

You are in Eastern Europe, what you read and what you hear bear no relation to reality. The only way to know for sure is to do it yourself.

The web site I referred you to is the official tourism web site for the government of Moldova. I believe that information to be as accurate as it can be. Of course, they might have changed the visa prices yesterday and the web site hasn't been updated.

Regardless, the idea that you will pay 50% more to buy your visa on arrival rather than at a consulate is just plain silly. If anything, it will be the other way around.

Reggie, international mongering is an expensive hobby. If you haven't got the bucks to buy into the game, then I'm afraid you can't play.

Shyestleeva,

Stravinsky

Stravinsky, I'm just saying that I read on another site that the visas were now 65 euros for a month, not 60 dollars. I don't know if that's correct, but that's what one Moldova lady said a visitor had told her he paid.

I know I've seen some reports of $40 at the consulate, but none of my emails to the consulate have been answered and I haven't been able to reach them by phone (though I'm going to try a few other numbers.)

I've also seen on other moldova sites that it is 50 Percent more to buy it on arrival than at a consulate.

These prices quoted on the site you mention seem to be 50 percent higher than what I read elsewhere. Did prices just go up by 50 percent? I'm sure I read $120 for a three month on more than one site. The site you referred says $180.

I just think it's a little absurd that such a tiny country should have such high visa fees. You can get a Ukraine visa good for 6 months at Suceava for $15, I have read.

Reggie,

Are you still in Romania? I think you're making this more difficult than it has to be.

Visa fees should be consistent, regardless of where you buy it. A single entry visa for one month should be $60 USD. If you renew that 2 more times, you would pay a total of $180 USD. You can buy a multiple entry visa for six months that will allow you a 90 day stay for $240 USD. So that's an extra $60. I don't know about you, but I'd rather pay the extra $60 up front and save myself the agony of having to spend the day in some Moldovan visa office, twice, renewing my visa.

How much is the Moldova visa when you get it at the border? I've been reading conflicting reports. If I want to stay three months (with only one entry), would it be cheaper to get a one month visa and extend it twice in Chisinau? Thanks for your advice. I've been reading that the visa now is 65 euros for a month, bought in bucharest. That's really outrageous.

Hi

Sure Stravinsky they just need INFO and from my experience that I was mongering in other countries too this is the best and the cheapest place.

I always found it funny and easy to get the girls and never PRO girls.

As I heard Kishinev is full of turists now. I will be there in the next few days.

Essi,

It will be quite a while before I get back to Kishinev. I'll definately let you know when the time comes.

However, it's good to see that other mongers have been inspired to make the trip from reading this board. And that they are posting their experiences. The more information we have, the better for everyone.

Stravinsky,

I was staying in one appartment, located in the centre of the town, near Stefan Stel Mar street.

Unfortunately, i don't know russian. I checked the session that had some hearts on the above. The biggest part of the girls that were answering the phone, didn't know english. Finally, I found one that was speaking basic english.

Thanks for your feedback (Essi too)

Hi Screen 2004

Thanks for your report.

You are right its very short time for conclusion about kishinev.

In Star Trek disco are many arabs and turks and the girls ignor them even to rent them appartments, I havn't been there for long time because lots of working girls there. My favorit disco is CITY and SOHO with very nice local girls but some of them are working girls.

If you want to get a normal girl its very rare to have sex with her on the first night unless she is semi pro.

Most of the normal girls wants you to court a few days just because they dont want the feeling that you use them.

I hope and wish you good luck on your next visit.

Screen,

Thanks for the report! Your English is fine.

Can you tell us where you stayed while you were in Chisinau?

Do you speak any Russian? You said that you contacted one girl from the Makler newspaper.

As I'm reading this forum the last 3-4 months and especially Moldova's section, I would like to give my contribution too. I visited Chisinau before one month, just for two days/three nights (my first visit there).

As I didn't have so much free time, especially during the day, I cannot say that I have a picture of the whole situation. The city is not in the best situation, but it has some nice places and as I understood, they 're trying to refresh a lot of the older buildings. Of course, you can see a lot of beautiful girls walking around and regarding safety, I think it's ok, at least during the day. I'm not sure for the nighttime. I noticed that after 23.00, the city looks almost empty from people and the circulation is very small.

The first night I stayed there, I checked disco STAR TREK following some advices from previous posts. Even now, I'm not sure if I understood what's happening there. At least for the first time visitor, it's difficult to understand which are the working girls or the semi-pros. I undesrtood that you have to approach the girl that you like and try to open a discussion. I did it twice and the second time the girl asked me what i would like to do the rest of the night and so on. We agreed for 50 dollars for three hours. She was around 8, nice body - nice face, but i was very tired (it was almost morning) and I cannot say that i really satisfied the whole thing. Later, she told me that a big part of the girls there are working girls. She mentioned also that they have a kind of fear for Turks and Arabs and that they are avoiding to date with them.

The second night I tried Makler and I had an agreement for 40 dollars for two hours. The girl was not so nice (around 6), but rather willing.Nothing special anyway.

As I spent so limited time there, I cannot say so many things or make conclusions. Surely, it needs more time or maybe a kind of local support to understand the rules there.

Finally, sorry for my english. I tried my best.

EDITOR's NOTE: Posting of this report was delayed pending revisions to capitalize the word "I". To avoid future delays, please use a capital "I" to refer to yourself in future reports. Thanks!

Its not so simple for them to trust guy to take them abroad.

The girls are afraid that you maybe "sell" them for sex.

I spoke to girls and they told me some stories about girls who went for LOVE and those criminals sold them.

Some of the girls ask you, are you sure you not going to sell me??

In general they want to go away from thier poor country and to have the chance to live in US or western europe espaciaily if they know that you are a rich guy.

Friedrich,

EVERY young Moldovan woman would LOVE to live abroad . . . with a man who is rich enough to provide her the lifestyle that she feels she deserves.

And the government of Moldova has no problem with allowing her to go.

The problem you will have is. . . will YOUR country let her in?

The U.S. Embassy will never grant a tourist visa to a young, single Moldovan woman. The only possibility would be a K1 visa, or "fiancee" visa. You get 90 days to marry her, or it's back she goes.

Reggie P,

The address for the Consular section of the Moldovan Embassy in Bucharest is listed as: Bucuresti, Bd. Eroilor nr. 8. This is where you would go to apply for a visa. Since you're on the ground there in Romania, I trust you can figure out where that is.

Their phone is 410.98.27 and their fax is 410.98.26. They are working Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm.

I would be very surprised if they issued a visa to you by mail. I think you will have to go there in person.

Are you so far away?

Stravinsky

**Reggie P** · 06-06-04 22:55

Well, my email to the consulate was just returned undeliverable. Not surprised. And I did spell it digiro.net, which is the correct domain.
