Common questions
Generally no Moldovan visa is required. Moldova's MFA lists China as visa-required, but footnote [2] exempts holders of valid visas issued by the United States; transit visas are excluded and travel must be during the US visa validity.
No. China is listed by Moldova's MFA among states whose nationals must hold a visa for entry, exit and transit; for a short visit, obtain a Moldovan visa before travel, usually via eVisa.
No. Moldova's MFA lists Hong Kong SAR as visa-exempt and states the exemption applies only to Hong Kong SAR passport holders; the usual stay is up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Sources indicate no: the Wikipedia Visa policy of Moldova page states that entry and transit are refused to Taiwan citizens, citing IATA/Timatic and Moldova's visa-regime page. Because I did not find a direct official English page, confirm with the airline or Moldovan authorities before ticketing.
