Malhowice: 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 Malhowice 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 trucks (up to 3.5 tons) at Malhowice 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.

Reviews about the checkpoint Malhowice,
Очень долго. Укранинкая сторона все сделала быстро, но Поляки неизввестно чем занимались. машин было относительно не много. перед самим пунктом пропуска их было 10-15. но двигались они медленно. Подъехали в Пт 03.07.2026 в 17:10 к Украинской стороне. Въехали в зону пункта пропуска в 18:05. Выехали из пункта пропуска уже в Польшу в 23:28 (по времени Украины). Итого 6ч 18мин
