Nakordoni.eu provides the most up-to-date information about queues at all border crossing points between Romania and Moldova in real-time. Our border queue monitoring service helps thousands of travelers daily plan their border crossing and save time. We track data from 9 key border checkpoints: Albița — Leușeni, Bumbata — Leova, Fricatei — Etulia, Galati — Giurgiulesti, Iasi — Ungheni, Oancea — Cahul, Radauti Prut — Galati (Moldova), Sculeni — Sculeni (Moldova), Stanca — Costesti. Figures combine official border-service data where it is published, cameras and driver reports, and refresh as soon as new data arrives. Use our online service to choose the optimal border checkpoint and crossing time.

The Romania–Moldova border runs along the Prut river. Major crossings: Albița–Leușeni (the main road), Sculeni–Sculeni and Galați–Giurgiulești (where Romania, Moldova and Ukraine meet). Romania is in the EU; Moldova is not. EU citizens and Moldovans cross visa-free in both directions for up to 90 days. Queues here build sharply during Moldovan elections and on Orthodox holidays.
