In addition, this mechanism will attract specialists from various fields to our country and create preconditions for the migration of businesses from other jurisdictions to Moldova. At the same time, the mechanism for granting the right to temporary stay in Moldova for labor purposes to foreigners working in the field of information technology will be updated.
