What you need to know before traveling
The State Border Guard Service separately recommends taking into account the possible instability of the electronic systems used by border control services. Even in the absence of long lines, this can affect the speed of border crossing.
It is also worth noting that at some checkpoints:
- pedestrians are not being allowed through;
- operate under restricted hours;
- passenger cars are temporarily not being allowed through, as is the case with “Yagodin.”
Therefore, it is best to check the latest information immediately before your trip.
In a comment
According to him, since the beginning of June, the number of border crossings has increased significantly due to the start of the summer season, the end of the school year, and the beginning of the vacation period.
As a reminder, in May, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine lifted restrictions on traveling abroad for all women without exception. From now on, the right to cross the state border does not depend on whether a woman holds a position in state authorities, local self-government bodies, state-owned enterprises, or courts.
