These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of cars at Chop (Tysa) 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 [**When is the best time to go?** Load statistics by day and hour](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_27/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Chop (Tysa) - passenger car checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 15.07.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Chop (Tysa) - passenger car 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 average wait time reported is around 4-6 hours, with some extreme cases of 10-15 hours. Reviewers advise arriving early and being prepared for slow processing times, as the Ukrainian side often mirrors the slow pace of the Hungarian side. For example, one reviewer reported waiting 1.5 hours just to cross the Ukrainian border, only to find that the Hungarian side was also moving very slowly. Tips from reviewers include being patient and bringing necessary supplies, as the wait can be quite lengthy. The Chop (Tysa) checkpoint seems to be particularly busy, with reviewers reporting long lines even when there are only 20-25 cars ahead. To minimize wait times, it may be helpful to avoid peak hours and travel during less busy times. Overall, the Chop (Tysa) border checkpoint is a challenging crossing, but with the right mindset and preparation, travelers can navigate it successfully. Reviewers also mention that only a few cars are let through at a time, which contributes to the long wait times. For instance, one reviewer reported that only 4-6 cars were being let through at a time, which led to a wait of over 6 hours. ⭐ 2.4/5 7 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Chop (Tysa), 2.4 ★★☆☆☆ 12 reviews All Positive Negative Віка ★★★★★ Два кордони за хв 50 Юрій ★★☆☆☆ З 6.30 до 10.30 пройшло 16 машин український кордон.
