Hrushiv: Ukrainian border-guard shift change at the Ukrainian–Polish border — when and how long to wait
Border guard shift change on the Ukrainian side of Hrushiv happens twice a day — at 08:00 and 20:00 local time. These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control.
During shift change, processing of of buses at Hrushiv typically slows for 20–60 minutes. To minimize wait, plan to cross 30+ minutes before or 60+ minutes after the approximate shift change. Check the live queue above for current status.
At the neighboring Poland checkpoint the border-guard shift change happens at the same local times, but Poland is on Central European Time — one hour behind Kyiv — so there it falls around 07:00 and 19:00 Kyiv time. Because the two shifts overlap, the slowdown stretches into wider windows on both sides: roughly 07:00–08:30 in the morning and 19:00–20:30 in the evening (Kyiv time). During these intervals, processing on both sides can noticeably slow down.

User Reviews — 1.6/5 (7 reviews)
Queue volumes are heavy at night: 27 buses were counted at 23:55, and one group arriving at 22:30 was twelfth in line, reaching the control post only at 06:00. Facilities draw sharp criticism — piles of rubbish, a non-functioning toilet due to no water, a broken drinks machine, and no information at all about expected processing times.
Practical tips from reviewers: expect 5–13 hours by bus, arrive prepared with your own water and food, note that buses are sometimes processed in two lanes which speeds things up, allow extra time for X-ray inspection and pit checks, and try to clear Polish control before the shift change.

Reviews about the checkpoint Hrushiv, By bus
Автобус стоїть уже 5 годин. При цьому пункт перетину майже вільний
Я б і жодної зірочки на поставила. Це саме жахливе, що може трапитись. 05 липня 2025р. Були в черзі на в'їзд до Польщі 13 автобусом, простояли 13 годин. Зараз 20 липня 2025р. Стоїмо на в'їзд в Україну . В черзі були 6 автобусом. Стоїмо вже 5,5 годин і попереду ще 3 автобуси.
Більш жахливого перетину кордону ще не було. Приїхали на п.Грушів 05 липня 2025 р.о 22-30, в черзі були 12 автобусом.На сам пункт пропуску заїхали 06 липня о 5-30. На даний час на годиннику 8-50, а ми і досі на українському кордоні.
23.55 5.07 станом на зараз 27 автобусів.
Ми приїхали 22.30 були 12ті. Через не цілу годину ззаду вже було 7 автобусів.О 6.00 підїхали до пропускного.На території було 6 автобусів. Але стоять двома пасами,може і так пропускають. Маю надію що пройдемо поляків до перезмінки.
