Located mainly east of the Dniester River on the Moldovan-Ukrainian border, the territory is internationally recognized as part of the Republic of Moldova and is inhabited by around 375,000 people.

Its validity can be extended repeatedly, or you can leave and re-enter the country after the expiry date. To obtain a temporary residence permit, you must register at an address in Transnistria, i.e. you must buy an apartment or house or sign a contract to rent. The validity period of the temporary residence permit is 3 years.<\/p>\n<p>Citizenship: If you were not born on the territory of Transnistria, there is a general rule for obtaining citizenship: you must live in Transnistria for at least 1 year without leaving it for more than 3 months. If you apply for political asylum, are a refugee or have made achievements in the field of culture or art, the period of residence is reduced to 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-187\" src=\"https:\/\/expatcircle.com\/cms\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Passport_of_Transnistria.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"269\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Passport from Transnistria.

My passport wasn&#8217;t even stamped when I &#8220;entered&#8221; the country. What is there in Transnistria apart from nostalgia for the Soviet Union? There is Kvint, good cognac. I can confirm from my own experience that it is very good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-185\" src=\"https:\/\/expatcircle.com\/cms\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kvint-1024x936.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"346\" height=\"316\" \/><\/center>It is so important to the locals that they have depicted the factory on their 5 rouble note.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-186\" src=\"https:\/\/expatcircle.com\/cms\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Pmr-money-rouble-1024x452.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"491\" height=\"217\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are probably very few people who want to emigrate to Transnistria. Although I did in fact know one person who planned to do so a few years ago. The corporate tax rate is supposedly a tolerable 12%. You could be thinking around the corner though and that&#8217;s exactly why I&#8217;m posting this option today. Transnistria has reportedly asked Russia for incorporation. <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2024\/02\/28\/europe\/transnistria-russia-protection-moldova-intl\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-190 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/expatcircle.com\/cms\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/breakaway_russia.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"373\" height=\"449\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Perhaps in the foreseeable future there will be no more passports from Transnistria, only from Russia? That would be a not uninteresting idea to get a Russian passport. Even if some readers now call me crazy. I&#8217;ve already said it in the blog and I&#8217;ll say it again here: <strong>even if it&#8217;s frowned upon today, a Russian passport could be very valuable in the future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transnistria?
