TheTransnistrian passport is issued to citizens of thePridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (also known as Transnistria) for the purpose of international travel and for the purpose of legal identification within Transnistria.[1]
The first Transnistrian passport was issued on 1 October 2001.[2]
Until then, starting in the mid-1990s, citizens were issued a paper insert in addition to a passport of another state (or aSoviet Union passport, whose design was used from 1974 until its expiration after thefall of the Soviet Union in 1991) indicating the citizen's connection with Transnistria.
Transnistria is not recognized by any country of the world (with the exceptions of the partially recognizedAbkhazia andSouth Ossetia). Transnistrian passport is only valid for travel to Moldova.[3] As dual nationality is permitted, most people affected are entitled to either aMoldovan,Romanian,Russian orUkrainian passport for travel abroad.[4] Paradoxically, it is impossible to actually use a Transnistrian passport to enter Abkhazia or South Ossetia, since to enter these partially recognized states you must first enter Russia, but Russia does not recognize Transnistrian passports. There are no direct flights between Transnistria and Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Thus, with a Transnistrian passport, it is actually possible to enter only Moldova.
