Moldova's Foreign Affairs Ministry urges Moldovan citizens to leave Israel by land

Moldova’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) informs Moldovan citizens from the State of Israel that, in the context of the worsening of the security conditions in the region, it is recommended that they leave the country during the conflict.

According to MAE, Moldovan authorities are closely monitoring the developments on the ground and maintain constant contact with international partners and competent Israeli authorities, in order to identify the safest evacuation or transit solutions.

In support of citizens, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provided information on open land border points. These are Allenby Bridge (to Jordan), operating from 08:00 to 14:00; Yitzhak Rabin Crossing (to Jordan), hours: 08:00 – 20:00; Taba (to Egypt), open 24/7, and Jordan River Crossing (to Jordan), hours: 09:00 – 16:00.

Also, Moldovan citizens who are set to transit to Egypt or Jordan must comply with the entry conditions into these states. For Egypt, a visa is required for entry, which can be got in advance or, in some cases, directly at the Taba border point, at the discretion of Egyptian authorities.

A visa is also mandatory for Jordan too. The document can be issued at the border (including Allenby Bridge or Jordan River Crossing), but Jordanian authorities may refuse entry without justification. It is also recommended that citizens have a cash amount available for the visa fee.
