Our border queue monitoring service helps thousands of travelers daily plan their border crossing and save time. We track data from 3 key border checkpoints: Ubla — Malyi Bereznii, Velke Slemence (and cyclists) — Mali Selmentsi, Vyshne-Nemetske — Uzhhorod.

Use our online service to choose the optimal border checkpoint and crossing time. From [Slovakia](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/slovakia) into [Ukraine](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/ukraine), most traffic uses Vyšné Nemecké–Uzhhorod — popular with travellers returning from Croatia, Austria and Czechia. Slovak control is handled by Úrad hraničnej a cudzineckej polície and queue data comes from Slovak statistics. Volumes are far lower than at the Polish border, but Uzhhorod can still build 2–5 hour queues on summer-holiday weekends and right after Christmas. Besides Uzhhorod, travellers can also return via Maly Berezny (Ubľa) by car, or Maly Slemence (Veľké Slemence) on foot or by bicycle. ## Recommendations for crossing the border Slovakia — Ukraine - Check queues online 1-2 hours before departure — the situation can change - The shortest queues are usually observed on weekdays from 10:00 to 15:00 - Avoid Friday and Sunday evenings — this is the busiest time at the border - Prepare all documents in advance: passport, Green Card, vehicle registration - Pay attention to border points with less traffic — you can often save 2-3 hours - Follow updates on our website — we are the first to inform about changes in checkpoint operations ## Frequently asked questions about crossing the border Slovakia — Ukraine - **How long to wait at the border Slovakia — Ukraine?**Waiting time depends on the load of a specific border checkpoint.
