CRITICAL: Green Card Activation Timing

Insurance purchased TODAY will only become active TOMORROW at 00:00.

This rule applies to all types of purchase:

Kiosk near the border (active tomorrow)

What to do?

Buy Green Card 1-2 days before your trip online

User Sentiment Summary

Checkpoint id_15 (Sheheni-Medyka) receives highly polarized feedback with an average rating of 2.9/5. The most critical issue is extremely long and unpredictable wait times, ranging from 25 minutes to 20+ hours, often with minimal queue movement. Users report 3-4+ hour waits are common, though some lucky travelers cross in under 1.5 hours. Beyond wait times, multiple reviews document concerning patterns including alleged queue corruption (VIP treatment for vehicle traders and businessmen), arbitrary border guard decisions, inadequate staff coordination, and poor infrastructure (Polish side under renovation, inadequate ticket/queue information system). Travelers report being turned back despite proper documentation and inconsistent document verification standards. A few positive experiences mention crossing in 40-50 minutes when conditions are favorable. For travelers: avoid peak times, bring patience and entertainment, avoid peak weekends, ensure all documentation is thorough, and consider using this checkpoint during early morning hours (22:00-05:00 mentioned as quieter).
