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?

User Reviews

Rava-Ruska checkpoint receives mixed reviews with significant concerns about infrastructure and wait times. Users consistently report long delays, particularly during peak hours and weekends. Wait times range from 50 minutes to over 4 hours, with some reviews documenting queues of 100-300+ vehicles. Polish side processing is notably slower than Ukrainian side, creating bottlenecks in the neutral zone. A critical infrastructure issue is the poor condition of toilet facilities, mentioned in multiple reviews as dirty, lacking supplies, and reflecting poorly on Ukraine's image to international travelers. Users also note lack of designated smoking areas and inadequate amenities. On the positive side, when processing is smooth, Ukrainian border guards receive praise for professionalism and speed (sometimes completing checks in 5-15 minutes). Polish customs officers are consistently slower. Technical issues include database system failures affecting processing efficiency. Users recommend traveling during off-peak hours or early morning to avoid major delays. Tips from reviews: arrive early for better queue positioning, expect 2-4 hours during high traffic periods (especially weekends and December), and be prepared for unpredictable Polish-side processing times. Recent reviews show persistent operational challenges despite some days running more efficiently.
