Border digitalization: Activities notified via email or e-Permit
Individuals and businesses engaged in economic activities in border areas can now notify authorities online, via email, or by accessing the e-Permis information system. The government has modified the regulations in response to amendments made to the Law on the State Border.
According to Daniella Misail-Nichitin, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the new initiative simplifies and modernizes the procedures for obtaining permits.
"We are transitioning from a bureaucratic approval mechanism to a simpler and faster one based on notification. Specifically, this project will enable notifications to be sent through the e-Permis information system or by email. It introduces tacit validation, which enhances predictability and eliminates delays," Misail-Nichitin stated while presenting the initiative at the government meeting on April 15.
The Minister emphasized that the project supports the digitalization of services, reduces bureaucracy, and minimizes the time spent interacting with public authorities.
"For the economic sector, this means simpler procedures, lower costs, and greater predictability. For institutions, it allows for a more efficient use of resources and a better focus on control and supervisory activities," she explained.
Under the previous regulations, individuals and companies had to submit an application to the Border Police to obtain a permit for activities in the border area. This procedure required an extensive set of documents and involved additional checks.
Following amendments to the law that took effect on December 30, 2025, the permit has been replaced by a notification system, necessitating adjustments to the existing regulations.
Additionally, the area requiring a permit has been restricted to a distance of 10 km from the state border line and 1 km within the national territory.
Currently, 253 economic agents operate in the border area, including within the state border protection strip. Half of these agents are engaged in agricultural activities, while others are involved in tourism, trade, and insurance.
