General information about Moldova Vignette
The Moldova vignette is a road charge compulsory for drivers of certain vehicles registered outside Moldova. The Moldovan vignette fee depends on the vehicle category and the total length of the planned trip via Moldova. There are vignettes valid for either 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or more than 180 days.
Vehicles for which it is mandatory to pay road tax include passenger cars, trailers, buses, and trucks. Motorcycles are exempt from the vignette requirement in Moldova.
Since 2017, it is possible to purchase a Moldovan vignette online. Drivers can also obtain a motorway vignette at one of the Moldova Agroindbank branches located at border crossing points.
A driver who wishes to obtain an electronic vignette for Moldova should register online, enter essential details, including license plate numbers, select the validity of the vignette, and cover the fee using one of the available methods of online payment.
Once the online order is completed, a vehicle’s owner should receive an email confirmation. It is also necessary to print out the vignette payment confirmation and show it during border control.
Driving through Moldova without a valid vignette may result in fines that vary depending on the number of days that a driver travels without a toll sticker. Purchase your vignette for Moldova online and ensure a smooth and trouble-free trip through the Republic of Moldova!

How to buy a vignette for Moldova
The ordering process should take only a couple of minutes and requires having access to a working electronic device, valid means of online payment, and a stable Internet connection. The process can be completed in the following three steps:
- Select your vehicle category and the start date of your vignette, the country of registration of your vehicle, your passport number, your name and surname, as well as your email address.
- After selecting one vignette type, the amount of the fee that must be covered will be shown – use one of the available methods of online payment and cover it.
- Receive the order and payment confirmation. Download it together with your purchased vignette. Print out both the vignette and payment confirmation and take their printed copies for your trip to Moldova.
Please note that the Moldova vignette has an electronic form. It means that you no longer need to fix it on your vehicle’s windscreen. Instead, do remember just to save its printed copy in your vehicle and show it when needed during road control.
Why are vignettes mandatory in Moldova
A vignette in Moldova serves as a toll road tax that must be covered by drivers using the Moldovan toll roads. Similarly to other countries that have introduced vignettes, the toll collected by Moldova is the source of money that is next spent on the maintenance of road infrastructure and tools used to control and monitor vehicle traffic in the area.
The Moldovan government uses the collected money to maintain and develop the country’s road network. By enforcing the mandatory vignettes, the country’s authorities can control traffic and monitor the flow on specific sections of roads.
Penalties
Since January 2017, when the electronic vignette was introduced in Moldova, the border police have been authorized to carry out vignette checks and impose fines for the lack of a valid vignette.
The vignette control is performed by the traffic police or customs officials. Drivers of vehicles not registered in Moldova who drive through the Republic without a valid vignette and receipt of the payment confirmation for less than 7 days may be fined MDL 5,000 (€ 231).
Driving a vehicle registered outside the Republic of Moldova without a vignette payment proof for more than 7 days may result in a fine of MDL 6,500 (€ 300).
