These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of pedestrians at Mali Selmentsi 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 No queue detected — crossing without delays ### Supermarkets nearby - [(image: Tesco) Tesco Zoltána Fábryho 95/3, Veľké Kapušany 7.5 km 11 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.511129,22.154123/48.555392,22.076667) - [(image: Penny) Penny E573 & Petőfi út, Záhony 11.8 km 18 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.511129,22.154123/48.404979,22.168254) - [C CBA Ady Endre út 1, Záhony 12.4 km 19 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.511129,22.154123/48.400749,22.18096) - [S Silpo Vulytsia Henerala Svobody 9Б, Uzhhorodska miska hromada 13.7 km 21 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.511129,22.154123/48.601814,22.279458) - [(image: Tesco) Tesco Kapušanská 110/61, Kráľovský Chlmec 15.7 km 24 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.511129,22.154123/48.431005,21.979064) [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.
