With the start of the summer holidays, an increase in passenger traffic through the checkpoints of the Lviv region is expected.
The border control system is constantly being improved to ensure your peace of mind and safety. It is important for parents and accompanying persons of children to know that a biometric passport for the child is required to travel abroad. Martial law conditions allow children under 16 years old to travel with one parent without the notarized consent of the other, provided there are documents confirming family ties.
‘Check the expiration dates of the passports of the child and accompanying persons,’ advise the border guards. Choose the least crowded checkpoints, such as “Nizhankovychi” or “Smilnytsia”. An electronic queue eCherha is available for bus drivers.
Plan your departure on weekdays and outside peak hours. Bring everything necessary for the comfort of the child: water, light food, hygiene products, documents, a toy, a book, and medication if necessary. Do not trust unverified individuals.
