These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of trucks at Orlivka 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. The neighboring Romania checkpoint is in the same time zone as Ukraine (Kyiv time), so its shift change falls at roughly the same **08:00 and 20:00**. Because both sides change at the same time, the slowdown is concentrated in narrow windows — **about 08:00–08:30 in the morning and 20:00–20:30 in the evening** (Kyiv time). ## Queue Chart: Today & Yesterday ### Queue at checkpoint for the last 24 hours No data available for this period yet. ### Supermarkets nearby - [(image: Penny) Penny Strada Avram Iancu 1, Isaccea 2.9 km 4 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.292815,28.458115/45.267378,28.46525) - [M My Auchan Strada Brăilei, Măcin 26.7 km 40 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.292815,28.458115/45.25083,28.12251) - [(image: Penny) Penny Strada Spitalului 6, Tulcea 28.6 km 43 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.292815,28.458115/45.17832,28.785677) - [(image: Lidl) Lidl Strada Victoriei 76, Tulcea 28.9 km 43 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.292815,28.458115/45.177891,28.788614) - [S Supermarket 29.6 km 44 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.292815,28.458115/45.1607953,28.7860921) [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.
