These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of trucks at Luzhanka 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 Hungary checkpoint the border-guard shift change happens at the same local times, but Hungary 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: Tesco) Tesco Beregszászi utca 1, Vásárosnamény 19.3 km 29 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.165716,22.573937/48.126936,22.320947) - [(image: Spar) Spar Jókai Mór utca 8, Vásárosnamény 19.4 km 29 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.165716,22.573937/48.127132,22.318483) - [C CBA Rákóczi Ferenc utca 40, Nagyvarsány 21.6 km 32 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.165716,22.573937/48.155486,22.282633) - [C CBA Ady Endre út 44, Nyírmada 30.3 km 45 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.165716,22.573937/48.06883,22.192851) - [C CBA Kossuth Lajos utca 113, Tornyospálca 30.4 km 46 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.165716,22.573937/48.267098,22.193477) [All stores on map](https://nakordoni.eu/en/shopping/supermarkets) Required Documents · green card · vehicle requirements · customs · vignette ### Documents for Men 18-60 Years Old **IMPORTANT: Requirements for Men 18–60** Ukrainian men in this age group MUST HAVE one of these documents to cross the border: **One of these documents is MANDATORY:** - Military ID (issued by military commissariat) - VLK Certificate (from military medical commission) - Booking Certificate (from TCC) - Exit Permit from TCC (for mobilized) **If you don't have documents:** - Entry/Exit denied - Return to Ukraine - Possible deportation for repeated attempts Where to obtain: | Military ID | Military commissariat (1-2 weeks) | | --- | --- | | VLK Certificate | Military commissariat (1-3 days) | | Booking Certificate | TCC of your region (1-5 days) | | Exit Permit from TCC | TCC of your region (2-7 days) | Don't travel to the border without one of these documents.
