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). ## About the [Mamalyha](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/kryva-mamalyha) — Kriva crossing Mamalyha — Kriva is an international road and bus crossing between Ukraine and Moldova, located in the Bukovyna region on the H-10 route (Chernivtsi–Mamalyha–Kriva).
