Directors of consular departments of the Moldovan and Spanish Foreign Ministries discussed the difficulties encountered by the Moldovan citizens in Spain and methods of solving them, Info-Prim Neo reports, quoting the press service of the Foreign Ministry of Moldova. The delegation of Moldova reiterated the Moldovan authorities’ readiness to sign bilateral agreements on the regulation of migrant flows, conversion of drivers’ licenses and social protection, whose drafts have been submitted to the Spanish authorities. A special topic for discussion was the obtaining of visas for the EU, including Spain, by Moldovans. The Spanish partners were informed about the difficulties encountered by the Moldovan visa applicants owing to the absence of a Spanish Embassy or Consulate in Chisinau, the exaggerated number of documents that must be presented, the large costs incurred when applying for visas, the non-granting of multiple-entry and long-stay visas, etc. The Spanish diplomats said they are considering the possibility of allowing the Spanish Embassy in Kiev to issue national long-stay visas (type D). A definite answer will be provided in the near future. As to the short-stay Schengen visas (type C), the Spanish officials said that they asked a EU member state that has Embassy in Chisinau to accept visa applications from Moldovans in the name of the Kingdom of Spain.
