Areas where FCDO advises against travel

Your travel insurance could be invalidated if you travel against FCDO advice.

Transnistria

FCDO advises against all travel to Transnistria.

There is widespread military activity in Ukraine, including close to some Moldovan borders. Transnistria is outside the control of the Moldovan government.  

FCDO’s ability to offer support is extremely limited and will be more limited if there is military action on or near the Moldova-Ukraine border.

Do not attempt to cross into Ukraine from Moldova.
