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 30.08.2026 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 45.

The dominant complaint is the sharp contrast between the Ukrainian and Hungarian sides: several drivers report clearing Hungarian control in 10-20 minutes while waiting hours on the Ukrainian side. Reported waits range enormously, from 10 minutes to 5.5 hours. Specific examples include 65 minutes (matching the site's posted estimate), 1.5 hours with 12 cars ahead at 23:30, a 6:15-7:45 crossing behind just four cars, 3 hours queuing from the Okko petrol station, 6.5 hours, and two separate 5.5-hour ordeals with only about 5 cars processed per hour on a Saturday. Recurring patterns point to understaffing and process bottlenecks. One reviewer found a single officer covering both entry and exit; others blame a single open window, worsened because Luzhanka also handles pedestrian traffic, so walkers and drivers funnel into the same window. Vans and buses are frequently sent to the inspection pit, with luggage fully unloaded, adding time even for families with children. Queue discipline is criticised, with some cars reportedly let through out of turn. Practical tips from reviewers: expect batching, as officers gather 6-7 cars before releasing them, and allow around 30 minutes waiting at the barrier even when the post itself takes 10 minutes. Checking nearby crossings such as Vyshnie may not help during peak nights, when queues are equally long. ⭐ 3.0/5 15 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Luzhanka, 3.1 ★★★☆☆ 27 reviews All Positive Negative Наталія ★★☆☆☆ Прохід кордону тривав з 6-15 до 7-45 , в чотири авто 23.08.26 , попри Угорщину де за 20 хв пройшли Микола ★★★☆☆ 10 хв мінімум.
