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 ### Supermarkets nearby - [S Supermarket 5.5 km 8 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.954611,23.116259/49.9698982,23.0424004) - [L Lewiatan Stubno 110 13.6 km 20 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.954611,23.116259/49.893916,22.951081) - [(image: Biedronka) Biedronka Biedronka (blisko) 20.4 km 31 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.954611,23.116259/49.9490032,22.8305846) - [(image: Aldi) Aldi Lwowska 36, Przemyśl 29.2 km 44 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.954611,23.116259/49.782822,22.807349) - [L Lewiatan Sanowa 12C, Jarosław 29.8 km 45 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.954611,23.116259/50.02269,22.71358) [All stores on map](https://nakordoni.eu/en/shopping/supermarkets) Required Documents · green card · vehicle requirements · customs · vignette ## Required Documents ## Documents for crossing the border from the EU Information about the documents required for leaving the EU will be available here soon. ### Customs Rules: What You Can Transport ALLOWED (with limits) Alcohol (for adults 18+) - Up to 1 liter of spirits (40%+) - Up to 2 liters of wine - Up to 4 liters of beer - Or proportional combination Example: 0.5L vodka + 1L wine = within limits Tobacco products (for adults 18+) - 200 cigarettes - 100 cigarillos - 50 cigars - 250g tobacco **Package must be sealed!** Food products - Dairy products: up to 2 kg (cheese OK) - Meat/fish: up to 2 kg (canned OK, RAW NOT allowed) - Fruits/vegetables: up to 2 kg - Honey, jam: no limits Meat from non-EU countries is PROHIBITED!

Many travelers report smooth crossings, especially toward Ukraine. Others complain of long, stagnant queues, slow Polish processing and unpredictable delays. Negative reviews mention barely moving lines, such as 50 meters in four hours, and frustration when official sources claimed there were no queues. Complaints also cover new shifts sending every vehicle to the inspection pit and all minibuses being sent for weighing regardless of cargo. Wait times vary widely. Crossings into Ukraine are often fast: 40-45 minutes for both borders, about 1.5 hours with no queue, or 2-3.5 hours at busier times (e.g., queue at 22:51, Polish territory at 0:51, through by 2:26). Toward Poland, one reviewer estimated 6-10 hours versus 1.5-3 hours in the opposite direction, though some found almost no queue. The Polish side is frequently described as the bottleneck, with cars admitted in batches of around 10. There was also one reported Polish database outage that halted traffic. Practical tips: bus passengers report Polish officers checking for proof of funds and travel insurance. Keep screenshots of banking app balances and download insurance documents beforehand, since mobile internet may be unavailable. Two women were reportedly turned back for lacking proof of funds. Stating a short trip of 3-4 days reportedly draws fewer questions. Queues may start under the bridge, and times are often quoted in Polish/European time. ⭐ 3.5/5 28 reviews ## User Reviews ### Reviews about the checkpoint Korchova, 3.4 ★★★☆☆ 34 reviews All Positive Negative Dimich ★☆☆☆☆ Чому коментарі без дати.
