Moldovan citizens who decided to stay and work in Greece will have the opportunity to convert their driving licenses issued in the Republic of Moldova. The same possibility will be available to Greeks residing in Moldova. The Cabinet on Tuesday approved the ratification of the agreement on the mutual recognition and conversion of national driving licenses between the two states, IPN reports.

“Together with the other agreements that were already signed, the Government expands the list of countries that accept the conversion and mutual recognition of driving licenses on principles of reciprocity,” said Minister of Internal Affairs Adrian Efros.

Thus, international road travel will be facilitated and persons will be able to drive legally in the two states. The licenses will be converted without the obligation to take a theory or a practical driving test.

The agreement between the Government of the Republic of Moldova and the Government of the Hellenic Republic on the mutual recognition and conversion of driving licenses was concluded in Athens on July 2, 2024.

The Republic of Moldova signed treaties on the mutual recognition of driving licenses with Turkey, Lithuania, Italy, Albania, and Spain, and also a joint declaration of intent with Germany on the transcription of driving licenses.
