These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of cars at Luzhanka 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_33/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Luzhanka - passenger car checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 15.07.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Luzhanka - passenger car checkpoint, the following key moments were recorded: **Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00):** The number of vehicles fluctuated significantly, with peaks up to 30.

Positive reviews describe smooth, fast crossings — several drivers cleared the border in about 10 minutes, one in 65 minutes 'as written on the site,' and others praised polite, professional officers who inspected luggage only lightly and wished travelers a good trip. Negative reviews, however, report severe delays: waits of 3 hours from the Okko gas station, 5.5 hours on multiple occasions, and one crossing that took 6.5 hours. Several travelers contrasted Luzhanka unfavorably with the Hungarian side, which was consistently fast (10 minutes), while the Ukrainian side was called disorganized, slow, and prone to letting cars through out of order. Recurring wait times range from 10 minutes in the best case to 5.5–6.5 hours at peak. Key patterns: a single working window (odne vikno) causes bottlenecks, understaffing was explicitly noted ('one worker for entry and exit'), and pedestrian traffic sharing the crossing worsens congestion Hungary-to-Ukraine. Buses and vehicles with many passengers face thorough inspections and may be sent to the inspection pit. Tips: cross overnight or very early to avoid queues, expect grouped release of 5–7 cars at a time, and check the exit toward Hungary which is often nearly empty. ⭐ 3.1/5 14 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Luzhanka, 3.1 ★★★☆☆ 26 reviews All Positive Negative Микола ★★★☆☆ 10 хв мінімум.
