These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of buses at Vicovu de Sus 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.

One passenger crossing by bus on June 17 waited six hours (from 11:45 to 18:00) without moving even a centimeter, ultimately forcing their bus to turn around and divert to a different checkpoint. The second traveler reported standing from 18:00 until 6:30 the next morning, with the overall schedule thrown off by roughly 12 hours. Both reviews attribute the standstill to the Romanian side rather than the Ukrainian side: travelers were told staff were staging a boycott over unpaid wages, and the Ukrainian side processed documents quickly while the Romanian side barely let vehicles through and then inspected everyone extremely slowly. Poor conditions compound the misery — no fuel stations, cafes, or usable restrooms, only filthy, foul toilets, in summer heat, with children and elderly passengers on board. A critical tip: the Romanian checkpoint reportedly does not operate at all between 20:00 and 8:00, so night arrivals face closures. Travelers should plan for delays of 6 to 12+ hours, carry water, food, and supplies, avoid overnight timing, and consider alternative crossings. The recurring pattern is severe Romanian-side congestion driven by labor disputes, near-total traffic stoppage in the evening, and inadequate roadside facilities. ⭐ 2.0/5 2 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Vicovu de Sus, 2.0 ★★☆☆☆ 2 reviews All Positive Negative Руслана ★☆☆☆☆ Це найгірший пункт пропуску, який я будь-коли пересікала. Їхали автобусом 17.06, стояли на цьому КПП 6 год в проміжку з 11.45 до 18.00! Навіть не зрушили з місця ні на 1 см!!!! На вулиці спекотно, в автобусі теж, бо мотор ге працює, поряд - поле, брудні смердючі засрані та повністю залиті сечею туалети часів початку 20 століття!!! Ні заправок, ні кафе, ні туалетів нормальних, нічого! В автобусі повно дітей, старших людей. А черга стоїть на місці, бо румуни не хочуть працювати! Виявилося ще й, що з 20.00 до 8.00 румунський КПП взагалі не працює. Нікому не раджу сюди їхати. Наш автобус зрештою розвернувя і поїхав на інший КПП. Олена ★★★☆☆ Я їхала автобусом вчора кордон Красноїльськ, то ми від 18 до 6:30 ранку тупо стояли , але нам пощастило бо це час вже з перевіркою документів Інші стоять досі, а перед деякими автобусами було по 10 перед ними ще До 9 вечора, якщо не пізніше, була така ситуація, що нічо не рухалось взагалі Виходили взнавали, що до чого, то казали, що в них бойкот бо ніби то їм не виплачують зарплату. І така ситуація була на всіх пропусках до румунів Укр сторона документи перевіряла швидко, але толку з того, якщо тамті не впускали Потім пускали і перевіряли всіх настільки повільно, що капєц. Графік збився на 12 годин! Тому плануйте свій час враховуючи це, бо це жах This review(s) reflects the subjective opinion of a service user, and not the official position of NaKordoni.eu. ## Contacts & Map ## Contacts and address of checkpoint Vicovu de Sus Address: Ukraine, Chernivtsi Oblast, Krasnoilsk Settlement Hromada, КПП Красноїльськ (Ucraina, Chernivtsi Regiune, Krasnoilsk Settlement Hromada, КПП Красноїльськ) GPS Coordinates: 47.946829, 25.62072 [Show on map](https://nakordoni.eu/en/maps/ro-ua#id_229) ### Nearest checkpoints - [Siret](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_138) – 33 km - [Siret](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_139) – 33.2 km - [Rakovets](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_143) – 51.9 km - [Sighetu Marmatiei](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_136) – 129.8 km - [Halmeu](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_135) – 194.9 km ## News at this checkpoint ### [Independence Day Ukraine border queue forecast 24.08.2026](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-08-20/queue-prognosis-independence-day-2026-08-24) 20.08.2026 ### [Assumption Day 15.08.2026: Ukraine–Poland, Romania queue forecast](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-08-13/queue-prognosis-assumption-day-2026-08-15) 13.08.2026 ### [Constitution Day Border Queue Forecast — 28.06.2026](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-06-22/queue-prognosis-constitution-day-2026-06-28) 22.06.2026 ### [Whit Monday Queue Forecast — Ukraine ↔ Romania 01.06.2026](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-05-31/queue-prognosis-whit-monday-ukraine-romania-2026-06-01) 31.05.2026 ### [Children's Day Border Queue Forecast — Ukraine–Moldova & Romania 01.06.2026](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-05-31/queue-prognosis-children-s-day-2026-06-01) 31.05.2026 ### [Pentecost Border Queue Forecast — Ukraine’s Western Corridors 31.05.2026](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-05-30/queue-prognosis-pentecost-2026-05-31) 30.05.2026 [All news →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news) ### Emergency Contacts & Support **Romania Emergency Services** - [112 — universal emergency](tel:112) **Ukraine Emergency Services** - [112 — universal emergency](tel:112) - [102 — police](tel:102) - [103 — ambulance](tel:103) - [101 — fire department](tel:101) **Roadside Assistance** - [ACR Auto Club: +40-21-9222](tel:) **Roadside Assistance** - [Ukravtodor: 0-800-503-508 (free)](tel:0800503508) Always carry your passport and vehicle documents! ### Other border crossings Compare queues at all crossings [All queues at Romania-Ukraine border → 19](https://nakordoni.eu/en/stat/5/1) ## Useful Information for Border Crossing [Documents for border crossing →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/p/rules) [Customs rules & import limits →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/p/customs) [Green Card car insurance →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/p/green_card) [EES system — what you need to know →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/p/ees/what-is-the-entry-exit-system) [Maps & Services →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/explore) [Find Fastest Crossing →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/best-crossing) [All border crossings →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp)
