Kriva: Ukrainian border-guard shift change at the Ukrainian–Moldovan border — when and how long to wait

Border guard shift change on the Ukrainian side of Kriva 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 cars at Kriva 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.

On the other side of the border (Moldova), the local border service has its own shift schedule that is not publicly published. Total cross-border wait depends on both sides, but on outbound from Ukraine — especially on peak days — the Ukrainian 08:00/20:00 shift is typically the limiting factor.

Green Card Insurance: Activation Time

CRITICAL: Green Card Activation Timing

This rule applies to all types of purchase:

What to do?

  • Buy Green Card 1-2 days before your trip online
