Ambasada Statelor Unite ale Americii
Public institutions & embassies in Buiucani, Chișinău
The Embassy of the United States in Moldova is located at 103 Alexei Mateevici Street in the Buiucani sector. The mission develops relations between the two countries, and its consular section handles US visa applicants.
According to reviews, interviews for nonimmigrant visas, including tourist visas, take place here, after which the passport may be kept for visa issuance. Visitors note there is a security check at the entrance, and phones, keys and similar items are left in lockers.
Ratings are above average, but opinions differ. Most complaints concern visa refusals that applicants find unclear rather than the service itself. Other visitors appreciate the waiting room conditions and the attitude of some staff at document intake.
Phone: +373 22 408 300. Check visa types, interview booking and required documents on the embassy's official website, md.usembassy.gov.

All the bad reviews are completely justified ! From my personal experience 5 y.a. The incompetence, indifference and rudeness of the employees of the US Embassy in Chisinau is simply outrageous. For questions not related to visas for US citizens, it does not even make sense to apply. The call center number is busy for life. On the website of the embassy, everything is connected strictly with questions about the visa. They answered the email quickly, with advice to call the call center or find what you need on the official website, in general, a vicious circle with zero help. I would like to convey to the leadership of the embassy about the work of clerks who should inform people, but instead they offer to call an always busy number and write 📧 to which they will not give a specific answer.

I was applied to business visa and all employees there were polite. Cashier helped me with documents and consul answered all my questions. The whole waiting area is too small but I think that is enough for 2 interview windows.

What to say , I can say just they are good businessman. My mom and dad was on December 11th. They got refused, the lady from there asked just: What you want to do in USA?, really? What a stupid question, to ask 2 old persons of 70 years what to do in USA. My parents said : to meet Christmas with my son and his family. She refused without an answer. Some of people told me that who is working there , they are good psychologist, hell’no they are good businessman. In 30 minutes my parents said that 15 people was refused, and no one passed. So just here is 2400$ they earned. What priorities they follow to get that visa? Why people spend a lot of money for nothing? Why they are not saying if you don’t have ( doc A, B , C etc..) do not apply? Whatever, or with new ambassador or with old one is the same..

The lady who interviewed my mom on February 6th was very rude and disrespectful. It's one thing when your visa is denied and other when somebody treats you so miserable. People spend a lot of money, time, effort to have this interview so treat the with respect at least.
