As from January 28, the payments for the services of the Russian consulate in Tiraspol will be performed in Moldovan lei, not in US dollars as it used to be before.

The information was posted on the web page of the Russian embassy to Chişinău, without stating any reasons.

The mobile consular office in Tiraspol offers services in getting Russian citizenship, issuing passports and provides legal advice.

It was opened in 2013.
