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 Romania 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). ## Solotvyno — [Sighetu Marmatiei](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/bila-tserkva-sihetu-marmatsiiei) crossing This road-and-pedestrian bridge over the Tisa river links [Solotvyno](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/sihetu-marmatsiiei-solotvyno) on the Ukrainian side with Sighetu Marmatiei on the Romanian side, in the historic Maramures region. It is a crossing between Ukraine and Romania that handles passenger cars, minibuses, cyclists and pedestrians. The point operates daily from 08:00 to 20:00. Trucks are not admitted here, so the crossing is mainly used by travellers heading to the Romanian Maramures and by residents of the border towns. ### Key facts - Sides: Solotvyno (UA) — Sighetu Marmatiei (RO) - Around 25 km (~30 min) from Tiachiv; about 2 km from Sighetu Marmatiei - Opening hours: 08:00–20:00 - Permitted: cars, minibuses, pedestrians, bicycles - Pedestrian crossing: allowed - Trucks: not admitted ### Queues and waiting time Typical waits are 10–40 minutes on weekdays and up to 1–2 hours on holidays, while pedestrians usually pass with little or no delay (5–15 minutes).
