The full cycle takes from 3 to 5 weeks; we open the account within 1\u20133 business days after obtaining the extract from the register. We work by power of attorney: you do not need to come to Moldova for registration.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><em>Current as of September 2026. Legal basis: Law of the Republic of Moldova No. 86\/2020 \u201cOn Non-Commercial Organizations\u201d, Civil Code, Art. 52 and Art. 167 of the Tax Code, Government Decision No. 773 of 17.12.2025 (average monthly wage in the economy for 2026 \u2014 17,400 lei), Law No. 308\/2017 on combating money laundering.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three places where people usually get stuck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Formally, everything is simple: registration of a non-commercial organization with the Public Services Agency (ASP) is free, and the decision is made within 15 days. In practice, people lose months at three points.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>The first is confirmation of the subscribed capital.<\/strong> A foundation\u2019s charter must contain provisions on subscribed capital (<em>capital subscris<\/em>) of at least two average monthly wages in the economy \u2014 in 2026 this is <strong>34,800 lei<\/strong>. The document confirming the capital is included in the registration package. But the legal entity does not yet exist, which means there is no account into which the capital could be deposited. The procedure depends on the form of the contribution and on the requirements of the specific bank, and it must be agreed <strong>before<\/strong> filing the documents, not after the registrar\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>The second is the bank.<\/strong> Non-profit organizations worldwide are classified as high-risk for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. Moldovan banks apply enhanced due diligence to them: origin of funds, beneficial owners, grant sources, founders\u2019 connections. An organization that comes \u201coff the street\u201d with an incomplete package does not receive a refusal, but an endless request for additional documents \u2014 weeks are wasted. We write about how Moldova\u2019s banking market works on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/bizmoldova.com\/%d0%b1%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%ba%d0%b8-%d0%b2-%d0%bc%d0%be%d0%bb%d0%b4%d0%be%d0%b2%d0%b5-%d0%b4%d0%bb%d1%8f-%d0%b1%d0%b8%d0%b7%d0%bd%d0%b5%d1%81%d0%b0\/\">Banks in Moldova for business<\/a><\/p>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Third \u2014 a foreign founder.<\/strong> The passport, power of attorney and corporate documents of a foreign company require legalization along the correct route: for some countries this is an apostille, for others \u2014 full consular legalization, for still others neither is required. A mistake in choosing the route costs a month and money wasted in vain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We cover all three points with one contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bank account: why it is fast with us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed here is not \u201cconnections in the bank,\u201d but preparation. We know in advance what the bank will request from a non-profit organization and bring it right away.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>How the process actually works.<\/strong> The bank opens an account for the legal entity and submits the information to the State Tax Service; account transactions become possible only after confirmation from the tax authority (Art. 167 of the Tax Code). This step is what creates the feeling that \u201cthe account was opened but does not work.\u201d We guide the organization until the account is actually ready for transactions, not until the signature at the branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What we do to fit within 1\u20133 working days:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>We agree on the bank and company profile in advance<\/strong>, as early as the stage of drafting the articles of association. The wording of the statutory objectives directly affects how the bank assesses risk; articles of association drafted with compliance requirements in mind pass the review without being returned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We prepare the bank compliance package in parallel with registration<\/strong>, rather than after it: information about beneficial owners, origin of the subscribed capital, planned sources of funding, description of activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We prepare a card with specimen signatures and a seal.<\/strong> We order the seal immediately after receiving the extract \u2014 one business day.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>We schedule the administrator for a specific time at a specific branch<\/strong> \u2014 no queues and no \u201ccome back tomorrow\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We accompany you at the bank meeting<\/strong>, including translation if the administrator does not speak Romanian.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We see it through to confirmation by the tax office<\/strong> and check that the account is active and can be used to make payments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><strong>What we open:<\/strong> a multi-currency account (MDL \/ EUR \/ USD), internet banking access, and, if necessary, a separate account for grant funding if the donor requires separate accounting of funds. For organizations with foreign funding, we prepare in advance an explanatory note for the bank: who the donor is, on what basis the funds are received, and how they will be spent. It is precisely the absence of this document that turns opening an account into a month and a half of correspondence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is included in the service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Work<\/th><th>Basic<\/th><th>Turnkey<\/th><th>International<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Selection and verification of the name, reservation with ASP (our service \u2014 \u20ac80)<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Drafting of the charter tailored to your goals<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Minutes or decision on incorporation, list of founders<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Preparation of the share capital document<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Declaration of the beneficial owner<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Submission and support with ASP until receipt of the extract<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Legal address<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>option<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Manufacture of seal<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Opening a current account with assistance<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bank compliance package<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Apostille or consular legalization of the founder\u2019s documents<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>option<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Certified translation of documents<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>option<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Work fully by power of attorney, without visiting<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>option<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Assistance with an interpreter at the bank and notary<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Accounting setup and accountant selection<\/td><td>option<\/td><td>option<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Consultation on public benefit status and the 2% mechanism<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><td>&#x2714;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost is fixed in the contract before work begins.

If funds are used for purposes not provided for by the charter, tax is charged on the corresponding amount.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Economic activity is permitted<\/strong> \u2014 directly, including social entrepreneurship, or through established commercial legal entities. Profit is not distributed among the founders; licensed types of activity require a license.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Public utility status<\/strong> (<em>utilitate public\u0103<\/em>) is assigned by the Certification Commission under the Public Services Agency for a period of 5 years. The conditions apply cumulatively: the organization has been operating for at least one year before submitting the application; the statutory purposes relate to activities of public benefit (education, science and culture, sport, health care, human rights, social protection, ecology, protection of monuments, civic activism and other areas); there is a council of at least three persons who are not employees of the organization; there is a control body \u2014 censor or external audit; rules on conflict of interest are observed; there is no debt to the national public budget; among the foundersit and members have no political parties; the organization does not support parties and electoral competitors; the annual report is published. The status gives access to tax benefits, preferential use of public property, non-repayable financing and social contracting.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Percentage designation mechanism (2%).<\/strong> An organization that carries out public-benefit activities, has been operating for at least one year before submitting the application, has not supported parties or electoral competitors in the last four years and has no debts to the budget is entitled to participate. Administrative expenses from the received funds are limited: 50% \u2014 if the amount is up to 50,000 lei inclusive; 40% \u2014 from 50,000 to 100,000; 30% \u2014 from 100,000 to 500,000; 25% \u2014 over 500,000 lei.

In such cases, we say this honestly during the consultation and do not take on the project \u2014 this is cheaper for both sides than parting ways halfway through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What we do not promise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>We do not guarantee the bank\u2019s decision.<\/strong> Opening an account is the bank\u2019s right, not an obligation. We guarantee a complete and correct package, preliminary approval, and support. If one bank refuses, we handle the process with a second bank free of charge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We do not speed up ASP.<\/strong> The fifteen-day period is established by law. We shorten not that period, but everything else: preparation, correction of remarks, printing, the bank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We do not build schemes.<\/strong> If the purpose of the structure is not non-profit activity but something else, we do not take on such a task.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>We do not provide free consultations.<\/strong> Analyzing a specific situation is paid legal work: 150 euros. In return, you receive not \u201cgeneral information,\u201d but a solution for your structure: legal form, founders, capital, bank, legalization route \u2014 and a direct answer if the task is not suitable for us.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>We don\u2019t charge for what is free from the state.<\/strong> The state fee for registering a non-profit organization and reserving the name with ASP is zero lei, and these lines in the estimate are zero. Our work is paid: name selection and verification (\u20ac80), charter tailored to your goals, bank compliance package, support until the extract and the working account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost to register a foundation in Moldova?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The state fee for registering a non-profit organization is not charged, and reserving the name with the ASP is also free. You pay for the work, not for government services: preliminary consultation \u2014 <strong>150 euros<\/strong>, selection and verification of the name \u2014 <strong>80 euros<\/strong>, turnkey foundation registration \u2014 <strong>630 euros<\/strong>. The items add up: the full path from scratch \u2014 <strong>860 euros<\/strong> for our services. Beyond this \u2014 subscribed capital from 34,800 lei, which remains the property of the foundation itself, and for foreign founders, legalization with translations at the applicable rate. The final estimate is fixed in the contract before the start and does not increase along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it true that an account is opened within 1\u20133 business days?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how long opening an account takes with a prepared package and a bank agreed in advance \u2014 from receipt of the registry extract to confirmation by the State Tax Service, after which transactions can be conducted on the account. Without preparation, the same process for a non-profit organization takes from two weeks to a month and a half. In any case, the decision to open an account is made by the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are banks so picky about non-profit organizations?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The non-profit sector is classified as a high-risk area under international standards on combating money laundering and terrorist financing, and in Moldova \u2014 under Law No. 308\/2017. The bank is required to understand where money comes from and what it is spent on. This is not bias but a legal requirement, and it is satisfied by quality documentation: a description of activities, information about beneficiaries, and an explanation of funding sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you need to come to Moldova?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>For registration \u2014 no, it is carried out by power of attorney. To open a bank account, the bank usually requires a one-time personal appearance of the administrator. We clarify the specific bank&#8217;s conditions in advance and organize the visit so that all steps \u2014 bank, notary, seal \u2014 are completed in one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can one person establish a foundation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. A foundation is created by one or more persons. If there is a single founder, the charter is approved by that founder&#8217;s decision rather than by minutes of a meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a foreigner establish a foundation in Moldova?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Yes. There are no restrictions on the citizenship and residence of founders \u2014 neither for individuals nor for legal entities. The restriction concerns public authorities, public institutions, state and municipal enterprises. Registration is possible fully remotely, by power of attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the subscribed capital frozen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. The law expressly allows the use of the subscribed capital to achieve the foundation\u2019s non-profit purposes. It is not a deposit or a security payment: the money remains the property of the organisation and works for its programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can the capital be contributed with property rather than money?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The law refers to property separate from the founders\u2019 property and does not reduce it exclusively to monetary funds. The specific method of confirmation depends on the form of the contribution and the requirements of the bank and the registrar, so we coordinate this matter before submitting documents, rather than after comments are raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">May the fund engage in commercial activity?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Yes, if it serves the statutory purposes. Direct economic activity is possible, including social entrepreneurship, and the creation of commercial legal entities. Profit is not distributed among the founders but is directed to the statutory purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a foundation differ from a public association?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>A foundation has no members; its highest governing body is the council, and subscribed capital is mandatory. A public association has members; its highest governing body is the general assembly, and there is no capital requirement. A foundation is convenient when control over assets and long-term earmarked funding are important; an association is convenient when the organization is built around a community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a foundation receive foreign grants?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Yes. The law establishes the right of a non-commercial organization to request, receive and use financial and material resources both domestically and from abroad. We prepare the documentation so that the receipt of a grant does not raise questions at the bank, and if necessary we open a separate account for segregated accounting of donor funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if the annual report is not published?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The report is published within 6 months after the end of the year; if it is not published, a copy must be provided to anyone who requests it within a month. Failure to submit the report after a repeated request by the Ministry of Justice is grounds for applying to court to request the compulsory liquidation of the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When can public benefit status be obtained?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not earlier than after one year of operation and upon simultaneous fulfillment of all conditions, including a council of three persons who are not employed by the organization, a supervisory body and a published annual report. The status is granted for 5 years by the Certification Commission under the ASP.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why bizmoldova.com<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Twenty years of practice with documents and legal entities of the Republic of Moldova.<\/strong> P.P.
