Border Crossing Romania Ukraine

The border between Romania and Ukraine is over 600 kilometers long and stretches across the northwest of Romania and the southeast of Ukraine. The Romanian-Ukrainian border mainly follows rivers (such as the Prut and Dniester) and passes through mountainous regions.

Border Controls

At the border crossings between Romania and Ukraine, there are (especially due to the war situation) intensified border controls. Therefore, travelers intending to cross from Ukraine into Romania should expect strict security and control measures.

Border Crossings

Below, we would like to present the most important border crossings between Romania and Ukraine.

• Siret (Romania) – Soroca (Ukraine): This border crossing is located in the northwest of Romania, near the Prut River. The connection is considered one of the most important points for traffic between the two countries.
• Halmeu (Romania) – Vylkove (Ukraine): This border crossing is primarily used by local traffic/commuters and is located near the Danube Delta. It is also crucial for regional economy and trade.
• Dornesti (Romania) – Reni (Ukraine): This border crossing also serves the exchange of goods and services.
• Ostrița (Romania) – Mohyliv-Podilskyi (Ukraine): This border crossing is located in the southern part of the border and is crucial for international traffic.
• Izmail (Romania) – Reni (Ukraine): Izmail is a Romanian city in the south of the country and is also crucial for international trade and freight traffic.

Note that all of these border crossings are only open at certain times. Furthermore, due to the current war situation in Ukraine, it is not guaranteed that these border crossings are passable and, above all, safe. However, these border crossings remain important for road and freight traffic as well as trade between the two countries.

Romania

The following section provides an overview of whether you need a vignette and if there are specific toll sections.

Romania: Vignette Requirement (or not?)

In Romania, there is an electronic vignette called “Rovinieta,” which you need for the Romanian national road network. It is important to know that trailers (caravans) do not require their own vignette, and motorhomes, regardless of their weight, must have a passenger car vignette. The electronic vignette typically records the vehicle data and the vignette's validity period in a database, so the consumer only receives a receipt for the amount paid, which should be kept. Depending on the vehicle class, you need to choose a different vignette, and the prices vary. For more information about the digital vignette, you can find it here. Order your digital vignette easily and conveniently from home with us.

Route-Specific Tolls

In Romania, there is no route-specific toll, but you will need a digital vignette and should consider additional fees when crossing the Danube.

Ukraine

Due to the current tense situation in Ukraine, it is difficult to define exact regulations regarding vignette requirements and toll obligations in Ukraine.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it is advisable to check the current situation before your trip and take into account the intensified situation at the border crossings.
