These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of pedestrians at Medyka typically 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 Poland checkpoint the border-guard shift change happens at the same local times, but Poland 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. ## Queue Chart: Today & Yesterday ### Queue at checkpoint for the last 24 hours Real Data Increased Load ### Supermarkets nearby - [(image: Aldi) Aldi Lwowska 36, Przemyśl 10.4 km 16 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.799376,22.949935/49.782822,22.807349) - [L Lewiatan Stubno 110 10.5 km 16 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.799376,22.949935/49.893916,22.951081) - [(image: Kaufland) Kaufland Wojciecha Brudzewskiego 1, Przemyśl 12 km 18 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.799376,22.949935/49.7902,22.7833) - [(image: Lidl) Lidl 29 Listopada 10, Przemyśl 12.7 km 19 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.799376,22.949935/49.794218,22.77316) - [Ż Żabka Seweryna Goszczyńskiego 7B, Przemyśl 13.9 km 21 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.799376,22.949935/49.787443,22.757202) [All stores on map](https://nakordoni.eu/en/shopping/supermarkets) Required Documents · green card · vehicle requirements · customs · vignette ## Required Documents ## Documents for crossing the border from the EU Information about the documents required for leaving the EU will be available here soon. ### Customs Rules: What You Can Transport ALLOWED (with limits) Alcohol (for adults 18+) - Up to 1 liter of spirits (40%+) - Up to 2 liters of wine - Up to 4 liters of beer - Or proportional combination Example: 0.5L vodka + 1L wine = within limits Tobacco products (for adults 18+) - 200 cigarettes - 100 cigarillos - 50 cigars - 250g tobacco **Package must be sealed!** Food products - Dairy products: up to 2 kg (cheese OK) - Meat/fish: up to 2 kg (canned OK, RAW NOT allowed) - Fruits/vegetables: up to 2 kg - Honey, jam: no limits Meat from non-EU countries is PROHIBITED!
