Moldova does not maintain a full embassy in Pakistan. Instead, its diplomatic and consular matters are handled through the Honorary Consulate of Moldova in Islamabad. For visas, Moldova is part of the Schengen alignment framework, which means Pakistani applicants generally need to apply through VFS Global Visa Application Centers that represent Schengen countries or through Moldova’s official e-Visa portal.
