Green Card Insurance: Activation Time

CRITICAL: Green Card Activation Timing

This rule applies to all types of purchase:

  • Online purchase (active tomorrow)

What to do?

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

User Reviews

Uzhhorod checkpoint experiences highly variable wait times, ranging from 5 minutes to over 17 hours, creating unpredictable crossing experiences. Users consistently report that the Ukrainian side processes relatively quickly, but the Slovak side presents significant bottlenecks. A critical pattern emerges: queues at the Ukrainian checkpoint don't correlate with Slovak-side delays, suggesting capacity mismatches between the two borders. Travelers recommend arriving early morning (7-8 AM) when queues are minimal, though even short queues can expand suddenly. Security screening is thorough and strict—visitors report full luggage inspections, confiscation of prohibited items (excess cigarettes, meat products), and occasional deportation or travel warnings for violations. Several reviews document 6-hour waits despite initially appearing short, indicating severe bottlenecking on the Slovak side. Users advise against risking prohibited items and suggest managing expectations for potentially lengthy delays, especially during afternoon and evening hours. Bus travelers report better efficiency than private vehicles in some cases. The checkpoint appears to have variable processing efficiency, with some afternoon crossings taking 50 minutes while evening crossings extend to 6+ hours.
