Crossing into Transnistria

Hi,

Has anyone recently traveled to Transnistria (Tiraspol) from Chisinau? I’d like to know how it goes. I know there’s a migration card, but what about cash?

Thanks!

Hi Vincent,

It’s been a while since I’ve been there, but your question isn’t very clear. What do you mean by cash? Payment methods in PMR, or potential customs issues?

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply. I was asking about payment methods and the local currency. I know that PMR uses its own currency—is it easy to find places to exchange it? The info I found online is pretty contradictory.

Thanks anyway.

I don’t remember that part, but I did exchange money—if only for the collection it represents, especially those amazing plastic tokens. It seems there’s a currency exchange counter next to the souvenir shop in central Tiraspol, as well as in the Sheriff stores.

Thanks, I’ll definitely keep that in mind.
