Green Card Insurance: Activation Time

CRITICAL: Green Card Activation Timing

Green Card is mandatory vehicle insurance for all cars. Important to know:

When does it become active?
Insurance purchased TODAY will only become active TOMORROW at 00:00.

This rule applies to all types of purchase:

  • Online purchase (active tomorrow)
  • Insurance company office (active tomorrow)
  • Kiosk near the border (active tomorrow)

What to do?

  • Buy Green Card 1-2 days before your trip online
  • Use your existing policy (if not expired)
  • NOT recommended: buying at border kiosk (too late)
This is not a technical error — it's an EU insurance law.
Plan one day ahead! Without valid Green Card you cannot cross the border.

User Reviews

User reviews for Mohyliv-Podilskyi checkpoint reveal mixed experiences with generally positive sentiment. Wait times vary significantly, ranging from 20 minutes during off-peak hours (early morning at 9 AM) to 4 hours during peak periods. Users consistently report waiting 1.5 to 2 hours on average when crossing in both directions between Ukraine and Moldova. The checkpoint operates with thorough border procedures including passport stamping, baggage inspection, and vehicle verification. Users are frequently asked to present the green insurance card and vignette for Moldova. A critical issue highlighted is the Ukrainian border system occasionally hanging for up to an hour, causing unpredictable delays. Practical advice from travelers includes pre-purchasing the vignette online and printing it before arrival, as terminal systems at gas stations often malfunction or only accept local currency. Infrastructure concerns include limited toilet facilities (a church toilet is available before the gates, with official toilets at customs). Road quality varies, with the route via Soroki recommended for traveling to Chișinău despite being partially unpaved. Cellular service (Kyivstar) is available at the checkpoint.
