One recent review from April 2026 reported a 2.5-hour inspection process for a 70-person bus despite no visible queues, with both Ukrainian and Moldovan border services conducting thorough checks including selective luggage inspection. In contrast, an earlier 2024 review described smooth crossing times of 30 minutes on the Ukrainian side and 30-35 minutes on the Moldovan side for a similarly-sized 55-person bus during a quiet weekday evening. The wide range in wait times (from 1 hour total to 2.5 hours for buses) suggests that inspection procedures and thoroughness vary considerably. Key factors appear to include time of day—evening crossings may face fewer vehicles—and border officials' inspection protocols. Travelers should be prepared for detailed document and luggage checks, particularly during daytime hours. Overall sentiment is generally positive, with travelers appreciating efficient processing when conditions are favorable. However, the potential for extended inspection times means passengers should budget extra time and patience for the process, especially with large groups. Both border services conduct independent, sequential inspections that significantly impact total crossing time. ⭐ 4.5/5 2 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Mohyliv-Podilskyi, 4.5 ★★★★★ 2 reviews All Positive Negative Ірина ★★★★☆ Їхала в ніч з 25 на 26 квітня, автобус 70 чол, черги не було, але перевірка 2-х прикордонних служб зайняла 2,5 години.
