Our border queue monitoring service helps thousands of travelers daily plan their border crossing and save time. We track data from 6 key border checkpoints: Diakivtsi — Rakovets, Diakove — Halmeu, Krasnoilsk — Vicovu de Sus, Orlivka — Isaccea, Porubne — Siret, Solotvyno — Sighetu Marmatiei.

The border between [Ukraine](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/ukraine) and [Romania](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/romania) runs about 614 km — Ukraine's second-longest EU frontier, with six active crossings. Romania became a full Schengen member for land borders on 1 January 2025. Mountain and river geography (the Tisa and Danube) makes crossing infrastructure uneven — Porubne–Siret is the most modern and carries about 70% of car traffic. Scheduled buses — [Ukraine–Romania carriers](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bus).
