# Antarctica entry answer

Moldova passport → Antarctica
Entry date: 2026-09-12

Permit, stay set by the visa
Before you travel: entry is by permit from the administering authority, not a visa. See the conditions for who issues it.
How long you may stay is set by your visa.

Conditions:
- Entry into Antarctica is conditional on a permit: the traveller must hold the authorisation issued by the Antarctic Treaty Party responsible for the activity (for most travellers, their own State), which each Party grants under the Protocol's prior-assessment and compliance regime (Articles 8 and 13), and the permit sets the duration of stay.
