User Reviews

User experiences at Medyka checkpoint show mixed sentiment with moderate wait times and variable efficiency depending on direction and timing. Most reviews highlight significant delays, with some travelers reporting 1.5-2 hour waits, particularly when crossing through Ukrainian customs. However, there are positive experiences showing faster processing, such as a 17-minute crossing with dual customs clearance and a 1 hour 45 minute total transit on a night crossing. The checkpoint handles both car and bus traffic. Key tips from travelers: weekend crossings like Saturday can be surprisingly quick (20 minutes mentioned), night-time crossings near midnight may offer better flow, and approaching from the Polish side at 23:45 can result in completion by 01:30. The Ukrainian customs appears to be the bottleneck during peak times. A bus service runs from Medyka to Przemyśl every 30 minutes starting at 05:00. Overall, wait times vary significantly based on time of day and traffic volume, ranging from 17 minutes to 1.5+ hours.
