Best Answer

It is not possible to enter South Ossetia from Georgia.

To my knowledge, it is only possible to enter and leave South Ossetia by land to/from Russia (no flights). Accordingly, a multiple entry visa to Russia is required.

According to the South Ossetian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, visas are not required for anyone.

There is also an invitation requirement (among others) for entry to South Ossetia.

(Please use Google translate on the above links if you do not speak Russian - it does a good job!)
