Educational information only — not legal or immigration advice. Always confirm entry rules with the destination’s official government sources or a qualified representative before you travel.

Honest expectations — when Transnistria is the wrong fit

  • Do not choose Transnistria if remote-work status is your plan — it publishes no digital-nomad or remote-work visa in our catalogue. Compare destinations that do.
  • Do not treat Transnistria as a casual first stop — government advisories rate it “Medium”. Read the full advisory in the Safety tab, not just the badge.
  • Where Firzar has no published data, we say so instead of estimating. Verify entry and tax rules with official sources before you commit.
