- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Eastern Europe ↗Reach this subregion only from the EU side — Romania for Moldova — through crossings run by recognised authorities; no route through Ukraine, Belarus or Russia is planned here.
- Eastern Europe ↗Re-read your government's advice for Moldova (it covers Transnistria) in the week you travel; the situation next door changes fast.
- Eastern Europe ↗Carry euros in cash for Transnistria and village Moldova; cards stop working at the Dniester.
- Transnistria ↗Read your own government's travel advice for Moldova (which covers Transnistria) before booking; several governments advise against all but essential travel to the region.
- Transnistria ↗Enter Moldova through a Moldovan-controlled crossing first (for example Chișinău airport); at the Transnistrian checkpoint you receive a local migration document that sets how long you may stay. Keep it until you leave.
- Transnistria ↗Most embassies cannot provide normal consular help inside Transnistria; confirm your insurance covers the region.
- Tiraspol area ↗Read your own government's travel advice for Moldova before booking; several governments advise against all but essential travel to Transnistria.
- Tiraspol ↗Read your own government's travel advice for Moldova (which covers Transnistria) before booking; several governments advise against all but essential travel to the region.
- Tiraspol ↗Cracked pavements and few lifts: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Tiraspol ↗Foreign cards generally do not work: bring cash in euros, US dollars or Moldovan lei and change small amounts into local rubles.
- Tiraspol ↗Do not photograph guards, checkpoints, police, military sites or government entrances.
