These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of buses at Uzhhorod 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 Slovakia checkpoint the border-guard shift change happens at the same local times, but Slovakia 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_25/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Uzhhorod - bus checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 15.07.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Uzhhorod - 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 single review focuses entirely on bus travel, where a passenger reported that buses were already waiting into their seventh hour at the crossing. This points to significant delays for bus passengers, suggesting the checkpoint can become heavily congested and that processing times for bus traffic are a real pain point during busy periods. The dominant pattern here is long wait times specifically affecting buses, with a reported delay of around 7 hours. There is no indication of the delay easing quickly, so travelers should treat bus crossings at Uzhhorod as potentially very slow and plan accordingly. The frustration is understandable, though the neutral-to-moderate rating implies the experience was not judged as a total failure. Practical tips for anyone using Uzhhorod: if traveling by bus, prepare for waits that can stretch to seven hours or more, especially in peak summer periods like mid-August. Bring water, food, and entertainment, and try to check live queue conditions before departure. Where possible, consider crossing at off-peak hours or evaluating alternative checkpoints if your schedule is tight, since bus queues appear to be the main bottleneck at this location. ⭐ 3.0/5 1 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Uzhhorod, 2.5 ★★★☆☆ 2 reviews All Positive Negative Марина ★★★☆☆ Автобуси вже чекають 7 годину Юлия ★★☆☆☆ Мы стояли с 17.00 до 2.30 в Словакию только приехала 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 Uzhhorod Address: 224 Sobranetska Street, Uzhhorod, Zakarpattia, Ukraine, 88000 Phone: +38 0312 64-96-26, +38 044 527-63-63 GPS Coordinates: 48.65361, 22.26611 [Show on map](https://nakordoni.eu/en/maps/ua-sk#id_25) ### How to get there by car: from Kyiv via the M06 highway to Zhytomyr, from Zhytomyr via the N03 highway to Khmelnytskyi, from Khmelnytskyi via the E50 highway to Ternopil, from Ternopil via the E50 highway to Stryi, from Stryi via the E50 highway to Mukachevo, from Mukachevo via the E50 highway to Uzhhorod and further to the Uzhhorod checkpoint. ##### Nearest border checkpoints - [Mali Selmentsi](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_26) – 17.9 км - [Malyi Bereznii](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_22) – 28 км ## News at this checkpoint ### [Cyril & Methodius Day: Ukraine–Slovakia 05.07.2026](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-06-29/queue-prognosis-st-cyril-and-methodius-day-ukraine-slovakia-2026-07-05) 29.06.2026 ### [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 ### [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 ### [eCherha Merges Truck Queues at Chop and Uzhhorod Border Crossings from April 24](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-04-22/iecherha-na-punktakh-propusku-chop-ta-uzhhorod-onovlennia-dlia-vantazhnykh-pereviznykiv) 22.04.2026 [All news →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news) ### Emergency Contacts & Support **Ukraine Emergency Services** - [112 — universal emergency](tel:112) - [102 — police](tel:102) - [103 — ambulance](tel:103) - [101 — fire department](tel:101) **Hungary Emergency Services** - [112 — universal emergency](tel:112) - [107 — police](tel:107) - [104 — ambulance](tel:104) - [105 — fire department](tel:105) **Roadside Assistance** - [Ukravtodor: 0-800-503-508 (free)](tel:0800503508) **Roadside Assistance** - [Hungarian Auto Club: +36-1-345-1717](tel:) **Ukrainian Embassy in Hungary** - [Embassy (Budapest): +36-1-422-4120](tel:) - [Consulate (Nyíregyháza): +36-42-500-388](tel:) - [MFA Hotline: +38-044-238-16-57](tel:) Always carry your passport and vehicle documents! ### Other border crossings Compare queues at all crossings [All queues at Ukraine-Slovakia border → 8](https://nakordoni.eu/en/stat/1/3) ## 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)
