These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of cars at Malhowice 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 Poland checkpoint the border-guard shift change happens at the same local times, but Poland 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_345/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Malhowice - passenger car checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 30.08.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Malhowice - 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).

Most complaints target the Polish side of the crossing: travellers repeatedly describe long holds, slow processing and heavy inspections, while Ukrainian border guards are frequently praised as polite, fast and well-mannered. One reviewer noted the Ukrainian side was empty of traffic while cars were still being held, suggesting throughput is limited by Polish clearance capacity rather than by queue volume alone. Reported wait times vary enormously. The best case was a Friday evening crossing around 17:15 Polish time with only 5 cars in the queue, cleared in 45 minutes. Typical bad cases run 6.5 to 7 hours by car, and one bus passenger reported more than 8 hours still waiting, with roughly 3 hours of that attributable to the bus itself. A family travelling on Monday 21 July arrived at 11:55 despite a posted 45-minute estimate and finished at 18:10 after a full personal search; they found two lanes of 15 cars plus 5 more ahead of the barrier. Practical tips: do not trust the posted wait estimate, which several travellers found badly understated. Crossing late on a weekday afternoon or evening gives the best odds. Expect thorough Polish checks including hazard lights and engine cleanliness, with no explanation offered for personal searches. Few booths are staffed relative to traffic, and barriers are reported to work poorly. Drive carefully on the Sambir approach roads. ⭐ 2.7/5 9 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Malhowice, 2.7 ★★★☆☆ 9 reviews All Positive Negative Олег ★☆☆☆☆ Дуже довго , не пропускають людей Оксана ★☆☆☆☆ Це жахливо!
