Moldovans who lack the required contribution period for pension eligibility can “purchase” it by signing contracts with the National Social Insurance House (NSIH) and paying the necessary contributions.
According to Moldova 1, individual insurance payments in 2025 range between 5,226 and 20,518 lei. Individuals pay annually and may contribute for previous or current periods, but cannot prepay for future years.
Authorities set the fixed contribution amount annually. The NSIH officials noted that many Moldovans who worked abroad favor the scheme, choosing to pay either in total or through monthly installments.

The contract covers past insurance periods dating back to 1999. Last year alone, over 700 citizens signed social insurance agreements with the NSIH using this mechanism.
