Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- A driver booked through your hotel or a Chișinău operator meets you at arrivals and takes you through the checkpoint to the hotel door; you keep the migration paper you receive.
- Precision
- Tiraspol has no airport; you enter Moldova at Chișinău and cross by road (field-verify). The road is about 70 km; checkpoint procedures and times can change without notice.
- Late-night threshold

If it breaks
- Read your government's travel advice for Moldova before you book; several governments advise against all but essential travel to Transnistria.
- Do not cross at night: the checkpoint procedures can change and consular help is very limited. If you land after dark, sleep in Chișinău.
- Keep the migration document you receive at the checkpoint until you leave the region.
- Carry cash (euros, dollars or Moldovan lei): foreign cards generally do not work.
- Do not book a tight flight connection after a Transnistria trip: allow a full extra buffer for the road and the checkpoint.
