    Caution is advised if considering traveling to Transnistria; consult your embassy in Chisinau for the most up-to-date information.

    You should be vigilant to petty crime, particularly in Chisinau. It is advised to always carry a photocopy of your passport for identification purposes, as police checks are frequent.

    There are strong penalties for possession or use of drugs.

    Avoid taking photographs of military or government installations.

    The Moldovan authorities are now strictly enforcing penalties (including deportation) against foreign visitors who overstay the terms of their visas.
