Drivers who enter and drive on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina with vehicles that are normally based abroad, i.e. vehicles with foreign registration plates, must possess a valid international MTPL (motor third parties liability) insurance document that is valid on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Depending on the regime on which the contractual relationship between the BIH Green Card Bureau and certain national Bureaux of member countries of the "Green Card System" is based, a Green Card/IMIC is recognized as a valid international document on MTPL insurance in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Green Card Regime) or registration plate (MA Regime).

 1.     Green Card Regime

 In the Green Card Regime, the contractual relationship between the BIH Green Card Bureau and the national Bureaux of certain member countries of the "Green Card System" is based on the existence of a valid Green Card/IMIC.

 In accordance with the current regulations and instructions of the BIH Green Card Bureau, a document known as the "Green Card/IMIC" (International Motor Insurance Card) is recognized as a valid international document on MTPL insurance for vehicles with a foreign registration plate, which can be printed on green or white paper, the largest format up to A4, which must be an independent document (e.g. independent of the MTPL insurance policy), and which must be presented in material (paper) form (electronic form is not accepted).

 Drivers of motor vehicles with registration plates from the following "Green Card System" countries must possess a valid green card/IMIC when entering and driving on the roads in Bosnia and Herzegovina:

1. Albania (AL),

2. Azerbaijan (AZ),

3. North Macedonia (MK),

4. Morocco (MA),

5. Moldova (MD),

6. Tunisia (TN),

7. Turkiye (TR),

8. Ukraine (UA).

 2.     Regime of the Multilateral Agreement (MA)

 In the MA Regime, the contractual relationship between the BIH Green Card Bureau and the national Bureaux of certain member countries of the "Green Card System" is based on assumed insurance coverage, and the registration plate is recognized as a valid international MTPL insurance document, so that vehicles with registration plates from countries that are signatories to the Multilateral agreements do not need to have a Green Card/IMIC.

 When entering and driving in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the registration plate of a vehicle from the following member states of the "Green Card System" whose Bureaux are signatories to the Multilateral Agreement is recognized as a valid international MTPL insurance document:

1.      Andorra (AND),

2.      Austria (A),

3.      Belgium (B),

4.      Bulgaria (BG),

5.      Cyprus (CY),

6.      Czech Republic (CZ),

7.      Germany (D),

8.      Denmark (DK),

9.      Spain (E),

10.  Estonia (EST),

11.  France (F),

12.  Finland (FIN),

13.  Greece (GR),

14.  Hungary (H),

15.  Croatia (HR),

16.  Italy (I),

17.  Ireland (IRL),

18.  Iceland (IS),

19.  Luxembourg (L),

20.  Lithuania (LT),

21.  Latvia (LV),

22.  Malta (M),

23.  Norway (N),

24.  The Netherlands (NL),

25.  Portugal (P),

26.  Poland (PL),

27.  Romania (RO),

28.  Sweden (S),

29.  Slovakia (SK),

30.  Slovenia (SL),

31.  Switzerland (CH),

32.  United Kingdom (UK),

33.  Serbia (SRB),

34.  Montenegro (MNE),

35.  Liechtenstein (FL),

36.  Monaco (MC),

37.  San Marino (RSM),

38.  Vatican City (V).

 The provisions of the Multilateral Agreement do not apply to certain types of vehicles - for example, agricultural machines, vehicles belonging to NATO military forces or individual military forces of certain countries, vehicles without registration plates. Most often, drivers of these vehicles present a green card/IMIC as proof of valid international insurance.

 3.     Frontier insurance

 Vehicles with registration plates of countries that are not members of the "Green Card System", e.g. The United States of America (USA), Qatar (Q), etc., as well as vehicles from member countries of the "Green Card System" but without possession of a valid international MTPL insurance document, must have a frontier insurance policy when entering and driving on the roads in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which covers the period of stay in the country.

 Border insurance can be concluded at the border crossing (not online) with one of the insurance companies from Bosnia and Herzegovina that deals with compulsory MTPL insurance, and a list of those can be found at the following link:

 The price of the frontier insurance premium depends on the type of vehicle and length of stay.
