The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in the process of implementing a large-scale project, coordinated in advance with all responsible institutions in Bulgaria and the EU, including the implementation and launch of a new version of the National Visa Information System (NVIS).

As from 1 March 2020, road vehicles with a total technically permissible maximum weight exceeding 3,5 tonnes circulating on paid road sections in Bulgaria will have to pay for their use distance-based road charges – toll. The toll replaces the electronic vignette for heavy vehicles and buses.

An electronic system (e-vignette and toll), as a modern way of charging for the use of the national road network, is introduced in Bulgaria as of 1 January 2019. In the attached file, you will find more information on where and how you can buy E-Vignette and how to convert your paper vignette to an electronic one.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria would like to inform that, considering the recent amendments to the Law on the Roads of the Republic of Bulgaria, vehicles entering the Republic of Bulgaria without a valid vignette fee document, may only continue their journey after paying the necessary fee for the respective category at the newly established specialized units of the Customs Agency at each border checkpoint.
