Documents at the checkpoints
On the road to Bender and Tiraspol there are checkpoints; the first is at the entrance to Bender. Keep your passport or ID card at hand; foreigners fill in a migration card on entry and keep it until they leave. How long the check takes depends on the queue. You pay for the ride in lei. There the local currency is the Transnistrian rouble, and cards issued in Moldova usually do not work, so change money beforehand if you plan to shop.
The usual time at the checkpoints is included in the fare, and a long queue is paid as waiting, by the hour at the tariff. If you are flying from Chișinău, leave with time to spare for the check. From the airport straight to Tiraspol see airport transfers.
