  • You asked me how is it to move to Moldova?
    What do you need in terms of documents?
    How to open a business?
    How the people are?
    Well, I thought that an answer straight from someone who already moved to Moldova would be the best and most approaching for you. So I want to introduce you this incredible man, nice human, smart citizen and a person always ready to participate in the social life of Moldova.
    Let us know how informative it was from a 1 to 10 scale đŸ€—â€ïž
    With love,
    Djulieta

    That was a really interesting interview, and with such a lovely man too. Please bring us more interviews like this ! I was fascinated to hear him say that so many people in Moldova speak English, as I had thought that would not be the case. Great work Djulieta.

    This is so fascinating! Could you do a series of these videos touring local businesses and interviewing people? I lived in Chisinau for a summer and fell in love with a placinte shop near the Opera. I wish I’d taken pictures of the women making the pasty because it’s lived only in my head for years. I’d love to see it again and show everyone I’ve told about it.

And yes, I know that life in Moldova is not always easy, but I love challenges and would have the experience without hesitation! And even if some cannot understand it, I like Moldova very much and it is an under-represented country which, with more attention in the world, could solve its problems more easily than at presentđŸ‡ČđŸ‡©.

    Thanks for the info especially through this interview with a Greek-American. It's really great to know the info from someone who is able to go through all the process of how to establish a corporation in Moldova. I'm not very interested with staying as a permanent resident. What I am thinking is how to import wines from Moldova and sell it to other countries like in Southeast Asia. Glad to know that there is a one-stop-process in a building where, according to Bilkas, processing your application for a corporation is done in just three days. But can you start a business in Moldova without a Moldovan partner? Like owning a business 100 percent owned by a foreigner.

    Djulieta,
    I ask a question at the end, please consider answering it.
    I'm American, an older man close in age to Basil Nikas, and have decided to move to Moldova full time to open a business. I lived and worked in foreign countries (Vietnam and Thailand) and found it very difficult to learn the local language because everyone wanted to learn English so I never got to practice when outside of the classroom.
    Because I believe learning the language and culture are critical for success I am dedicated to learning both before starting a business or buying property.
    Therefore, I want to find a family in a village (not in Chisinau) where I can live in the home and learn the language through daily conversation.
    Essentially I would like to find a situation similar to what high school exchange students do where they live with a host family.
    Here's the question.
    Is helping me locate a family to live with a service you, or someone you know, can help me with?
    Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
    Jason

    Moldovan Women are great looking, but the downside is that they know That they have Great Looks. I would not want to live with a woman who loves herself and knows she is beautiful. I knew a Moldovan Woman who immigrated to Edmonton, I met her at a Drug Store, hardly knowing what her job was, she is still there unmarried, BUT her Looks have changed... in 7, 8 years. Years of foundation had taken its toll.
