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 30.08.2026 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).

The average rating is 1.87/5, with 16 of 30 reviews giving the lowest possible score and only one review reaching 4/5. Reviewers repeatedly call it "the worst border" and several explicitly advise travellers to avoid it or choose a different crossing if they can. Complaints focus on bus traffic specifically: cars and minibuses are described as moving normally while coaches sit for hours, sometimes held at the VOG petrol station before even being allowed to approach the checkpoint. Reported waits are extreme and consistent. Typical bus crossings run 8-15 hours, with multiple reports of 12 hours (one split as 12 hours on the Ukrainian side plus 5 on the Polish side, 17 total), 13, 14 and 15 hours. Throughput is described as roughly one bus per hour, with queues of 7 to 13 coaches ahead. The single positive review (4/5) reports a fast passage when passengers have clean documents and luggage. Comfort is a recurring grievance: no benches outside, one working toilet in the cafe with a queue into the street, and heat of +27C or freezing night waits with children and elderly passengers aboard. Practical tips from reviewers: do not book a tight connecting flight after this crossing, budget 12+ hours for a bus, bring water, food and documents in order, treat posted online queue counts as unreliable, and prefer another checkpoint for coach travel. ⭐ 1.9/5 30 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Shehyni, 2.0 ★★☆☆☆ 39 reviews All Positive Negative Serhii ★☆☆☆☆ Автобус стоїть в нейтральній зоні з 11:00 ранку без руху, польські прикордонники не пропустили жодного автобуса, при цьому легкові авто і буси рухаються нормально.
