Repatriation from Guinea-Bissau to Moldova

For Guinea-Bissau we found no official guide to the procedure. We say openly what was checked and what has to be established case by case.

Issuing authority and document: Guinea-Bissau is not a party to the 1973 Strasbourg Agreement (24 states listed; Dutch treaty database, 13.10.2026), so local rules and the requirements of the Republic of Moldova apply. On mfa.gov.md (13.10.2026) there is no Moldovan mission in Guinea-Bissau and the country is not named among those covered by another mission; we clarify the competent mission at the start. The local authority that permits remains to leave the country we did not find in official sources.
Transport: Bissau is roughly 5,690 km from Chișinău in a straight line (our own calculation, 13.10.2026). Bissau does not appear in the list of destinations of Chișinău airport (secondary source, 13.10.2026), so we plan on a connection; specific routes have not been verified.
Timing: We found no timelines in official sources. We set the timeline once we have the documents and have clarified the local authorities.
Price: We will quote the price once we know the details.

Country status under the 1973 Strasbourg Agreement on the Transfer of Corpses: per the Council of Europe list (archived 20.05.2014) and the Netherlands treaty database; checked 11.10.2026.

What we could confirm

From sources checked on 13.10.2026: Guinea-Bissau is not among the 24 states listed for the Strasbourg Agreement; in the 1961 Hague Convention status table (updated 30.06.2026) we did not find a row for the country; on mfa.gov.md there is no Moldovan mission competent for it.

We found no official guide (for example from a foreign government) on death and repatriation in Guinea-Bissau; the page we found concerned a different country, Guinea. So we do not describe local procedures, timelines or fees here.

Required documents

The list of documents for Moldova (death certificate, mortuary passport, apostille or legalisation, translations) we cannot confirm from official sources. We draw no conclusion about the apostille.

We establish it with a local funeral home and the competent Moldovan mission, then confirm it with you before we start.

How we proceed

The translations needed are set once we see the documents. We promise nothing that has not been verified: no route, no timeline, no list of documents.

Write us the city and date of death and what documents already exist; on that basis we say, step by step, what can be confirmed and what cannot.
