From Slovakia into Ukraine, most traffic uses Vyšné Nemecké–Uzhhorod — popular with travellers returning from Croatia, Austria and Czechia. Slovak control is handled by Úrad hraničnej a cudzineckej polície and queue data comes from Slovak statistics. Volumes are far lower than at the Polish border, but Uzhhorod can still build 2–5 hour queues on summer-holiday weekends and right after Christmas. Besides Uzhhorod, travellers can also return via Maly Berezny (Ubľa) by car, or Maly Slemence (Veľké Slemence) on foot or by bicycle.
