These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of cars at Korchova 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_92/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Korchova - passenger car checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 15.07.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Korchova - 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 25.

The clearest pattern is directional asymmetry: crossing from Poland into Ukraine is frequently fast (reviewers reported 40-45 minutes, and one full trip in 1.5 hours from 20:15 to 21:40), while heading into Poland can take 6-10 hours during peak periods. Wait times vary widely—some drivers cleared both borders in 42-45 minutes, while others crawled 300 meters in an hour or barely 50 meters over four morning hours. Night and early-morning crossings (after 20:00 or around 4-6 AM) tended to move faster, though queues under the bridge still formed. Several reviewers noted Polish-side processing is the main bottleneck, and one mentioned a Polish system outage halting all Poland-bound traffic. A recurring practical tip: Polish border guards now check proof of funds and travel insurance. Travelers advise saying you are visiting for 3-4 days to avoid extra questioning, preparing screenshots of bank balances in advance (in case there is no internet at the crossing), and having insurance documents pre-downloaded—two women were reportedly turned back for failing to confirm funds. Buses are routed through weighing regardless of load. Overall, patience and off-peak timing help most. ⭐ 3.5/5 28 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Korchova, 3.6 ★★★★☆ 31 reviews All Positive Negative Артур ★★☆☆☆ Всі буси через вагу. Немає різниці чи пустий чи з грузом Olga ★★★★★ Поляки на удивление 😳 очень милые сегодня Ірина ★☆☆☆☆ Ми за 2 години ще досі не прийшли польський кордон, тобто за 3 години. |n| При цьому коли ми приїхали ми одразу заїхали на територію Аліна ★★★☆☆ Останнім часом перевіряють наявність коштів і туристичну страховку. Краще казати, що їдете на 3-4 дні. Бо якщо надовше, то виникають додаткові питання. Ми їхали тиждень тому автобусом, то у мене питали про наявність грошей і просили показати. Якщо у вас на картці, то краще заздалегідь зробіть скріни банківського додатку з сумою на картках. Бо якщо не матимете інтернету на пункті пропуску і не зможете зайти в онлайн-банкінг, то вас повернуть в Україну. Так само зі страхуванням. Треба мати вже завантажений документ, а не намагатися завантажити там.З нашого автобуса повернули двох жінок, які не могли підтвердити наявність коштів. Лариса ★★★★☆ В Україну - 12.30 початок черги, 13.30 заїхали на територію, 13.45 на нашу вже територію.
