Moldova - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution

The U.S. Department of State advises increased caution in Moldova due to the risk of unexploded ordnance (UXO). Some areas have higher risk, including central districts. Ongoing security threats related to Russia's war against Ukraine persist, and petty crime such as pickpocketing is common. Travelers should avoid crowds, be wary of fake police, and protect against ATM skimming.
