Country context
Legea 352/2006 + HG 643/2003 run ASP classification of tourist reception structures (no star category without a certificate). Chișinău levies taxă pentru cazare at 5,8% of accommodation sales income (CMC Decizia 16/1 / 2025; kept for 2026). Natural-person short lets sit under Codul fiscal art. 90¹ — 7% and SFS contract registration within 7 days. Eastern Partnership / EU candidate — not EU / not Schengen; Legea 133/2011 for personal data, not GDPR or Reg 2024/1028.
Remote arrival works when register-ready guest identity and stay fields are captured before access — Moldova has no evidenced national lodging-provider police portal equivalent to eTurista; SFS/tax and house-register clocks still apply.
