These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of buses at Shehyni 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 [**When is the best time to go?** Load statistics by day and hour](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_16/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Shehyni - bus checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 16.07.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Shehyni - bus checkpoint, the following key moments were recorded: **Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00):** The number of vehicles during Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00).

Bus passengers are hit hardest: reviewers repeatedly describe being held at the fuel station before even reaching the border, then queuing for many hours behind long lines of tourist buses (often 7 to 13 buses ahead). Reported total crossing times are severe — commonly 8 to 17 hours, with several accounts of 12, 14, and 15 hours, and one traveler noting Ukrainian control alone took 12 hours plus 5 more on the Polish side. Movement is described as painfully slow, roughly one bus per hour, worsened by limited passport booths (sometimes only one open due to reconstruction on the Polish side), a single working toilet, and no benches, which is especially hard on families with small children and the elderly. Recurring themes are the overwhelming bus queue, the very slow pace on both the Ukrainian and Polish sides, and poor communication from drivers and officials. Practical tips from reviewers: avoid this crossing if you have a flight to catch, budget 10 or more hours during peak periods, and note that crossings go faster (2 to 4.5 hours) only when passengers have no document or luggage issues. A few positive reviews confirm smoother passage is possible off-peak. ⭐ 2.0/5 30 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Shehyni, 2.0 ★★☆☆☆ 38 reviews All Positive Negative Олена ★☆☆☆☆ Зараз 4 ранку.
