- Entering Transnistria does not require a separate visa for most tourists, but registration on entry/exit is needed and currency (Transnistrian ruble) differs.
- Drink-drive is genuinely 0.0% — even small amounts trigger criminal liability.
JURISDICTION NOTES
- Transnistria is internationally recognized as part of Moldova but operates as a breakaway region with its own currency, police, and entry rules.
- EU accession track has accelerated since 2022 — laws are aligning with EU acquis but not yet fully transposed.
