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. At the neighboring Slovakia checkpoint the border-guard shift change happens at the same local times, but Slovakia is on Central European Time — one hour behind Kyiv — so there it falls around **07:00 and 19:00 Kyiv time**. Because the two shifts overlap, the slowdown stretches into wider windows on both sides: **roughly 07:00–08:30 in the morning and 19:00–20:30 in the evening** (Kyiv time). During these intervals, processing on both sides can noticeably slow down. ## Mali Selmentsi — Velke Slemence: a pedestrian and cyclist crossing between Ukraine and Slovakia This international checkpoint links the village of [Mali Selmentsi](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/velke-slementse-ta-velosypedysty-mali-selmentsi-ta-velosypedysty) in Ukraine's Zakarpattia region with Velke Slemence in Slovakia.
