The border between Ukraine and Moldova stretches about 1,222 km — the longest of Ukraine's western borders. Moldova is not in the EU, so no visa is required, controls are lighter and queues are generally short. The Transnistrian region (PMR) is legally part of Moldova but controlled by a separatist administration; some crossings (notably Kuchurhan) lead directly into PMR territory. Scheduled buses — Ukraine–Moldova carriers.
