These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of all crossing types often slows for 20–60 minutes. To minimize wait, plan to cross **30+ minutes before or 60+ minutes after** the approximate shift change. Check the live queue above for current status. The neighboring Moldova checkpoint is in the same time zone as Ukraine (Kyiv time), so its shift change falls at roughly the same **08:00 and 20:00**. Because both sides change at the same time, the slowdown is concentrated in narrow windows — **about 08:00–08:30 in the morning and 20:00–20:30 in the evening** (Kyiv time). ## Dolynske — [Cișmichioi](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/chyshmikioi-dolynske) Border Crossing **Status:** International road border crossing between Ukraine and Moldova, located in the southern part of the Odesa region on the local Dolynske–Cișmichioi road. Open 24/7. It is one of the quieter crossings on this stretch of the Ukrainian–Moldovan border and mainly serves passenger cars; freight traffic is routed to other points. **EU border:** no. Moldova lies outside the Schengen area and is an EU candidate, so the Entry/Exit System (EES) does not apply here. Pedestrian crossing is **not** permitted. **Transport:** passenger cars only ([live queue Ukraine → Moldova](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_434)). Buses and trucks use neighbouring crossings. ### Basic Information - Crossing point: Dolynske (UA) — Cișmichioi (MD) - Countries: Ukraine — Moldova - Route: local road Dolynske–Cișmichioi - Distance: from Odesa about 180 km (~3 h); from Chișinău about 100 km (~1 h 45 min) - Operating hours: 24/7 - Permitted vehicles: passenger cars - Pedestrian crossing: no - Daily traffic: 200–500 vehicles - EU border: no (Moldova outside Schengen, EU candidate) ### Queues and Wait Times Because freight is handled elsewhere, waits here stay short.
