On 3 April 2014, following the European Commission's proposal, the European Parliament and the Council took the final formal step to transfer Moldova to the list of third countries whose nationals are exempt from visa requirement.

It is expected that the amendment of Regulation 539/2001 will enter into force on 28 April 2014, thereby abolishing visa requirements for Moldovan citizens who want to travel to the Schengen zone for a short-stay and hold a biometric passport.
