Moldova e-vignette: how it works

The vignette (vinieta) is the fee for using the roads of the Republic of Moldova with vehicles not registered in the Republic of Moldova. It has applied since 1 November 2012 and today it is electronic only.

How the e-vignette works

• There is no sticker: the vignette is linked to the licence plate and the country of registration.
• It is valid from 00:00 on the chosen start day until 24:00 on its last day.
• The e-Vinieta system allows checks in the database without stopping the vehicle.
• The plate is entered without hyphens or spaces; a wrong plate or country can be treated like a missing vignette.

Who pays the vignette

Any person or company owning a vehicle not registered in the Republic of Moldova that enters the country or passes through it in transit.

Who does not need a vignette

• Vehicles registered in the Republic of Moldova; their owners pay a different, annual road-use tax.
• Vehicles registered in the Transnistrian region.
• Vehicles of foreign military forces.
• Foreign vehicles travelling with an international transport permit marked “scutit de taxă” (exempt from the fee).
