This statute provides the simplified registration of the certain citizens’ categories. These categories can be specified within the consultations and negotiations with the states and the organizations concerned. The Pridnestrovie’s Foreign Affairs Ministry intends to communicate on this issue basing on the reciprocity and the international relations strengthening. The Pridnestrovie’s foreign policy department will lodge the corresponding request to the Pridnestrovie’s President upon the completion of this work.
The Pridnestrovie’s Foreign Affairs Ministry especially notes that the foreign citizens and the stateless persons arriving to Pridnestrovie for a short period don’t require the invitation cards according to the statute for the present. At the same time, the individuals and legal entities have an opportunity to make the early invitations for the citizens (stateless persons) planning to arrive in Pridnestrovie for a long period (e.g., for the sanatorium-resort treatment, medical care, rest and tourism) in the relevant Pridnestrovie’s authorities.
The Pridnestrovie’s foreign policy department highlights the fact that within this provision the entry and exit procedures and the movement rules weren’t changed for the neighboring states’ citizens (the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine). Such approach corresponds to the tone and to the high-level implementation of the earlier reached agreements during the negotiations with the Republic of Moldova concerning the freedom of movement, i.e. also the legal decision signed in Vienna on February 27, 2014.

The grounds for declaring person’s undesirability in Pridnestrovie are provided by the Decree satisfy the generally received international standards developed in the states of the CIS and the European Union entirely.
