No need to enter Moldova or Ukraine first, it is visa-free for all EU or USA citizens. Anyway, if you entered Moldova or Ukraine you can go to Transnistria visa-free. Or let’s call it a free visa. When you pass the border you show your passport to border control officer, then you get a transit visa or visa for a certain period if you say the address of the hotel where you will be staying. It is not a stamp in your passport, no, it is a piece of paper. So on the way back, you give this document back to the border control.

Things to note

It is crazy but every other week I discover something new and bite my elbows, oh man, we should stop here last time during the tour! But when I say I do “tour” it is not a tour, not exactly, it is more like a journey. Not standing in front of monuments in a crowd, you know what I mean. I try to do what I would like to experience myself when I go abroad. I want to see hidden gems and background of top attractions, talk about real life and learn about history, exchange stories, have a good stop for coffee and snacks, maybe something stronger than coffee, it depends. So I don’t go same exact route every tour, we are very volatile where to go and what to do.
No matter what you do and where you go, whether you support me as a guide or just go solo making photos of Lenin, you won’t be disappointed. Transnistria has Soviet atmosphere mixed with modern trends, southern comfort, and beautiful nature. Don’t be surprised if everyone you meet is stunned like “How did get here?” or just don’t speak English at all. Anyway, take a chance and go at least as a day trip from Chisinau, capital of Moldova!
