The State Border Service has published information for citizens planning a trip to Poland

Recently, questions from citizens regarding the mode of operation of checkpoints on the Ukrainian-Polish border have become more frequent. To this end, we provide up-to-date information on the passage of certain categories of persons and vehicles from Ukraine to Poland and back.

We remind you that there are currently eight international automobile checkpoints operating 24 hours a day on the border of Ukraine with the Republic of Poland:

“Ustylug” – passes cars, trucks (with a permissible weight of up to 7.5 tons), passenger buses in both directions. Pedestrians are not allowed to pass;

“Yagodin” – trucks (weighing more than 7.5 tons) and passenger buses are allowed to pass in both directions. The passage of passenger cars in both directions is temporarily suspended. Pedestrians are not allowed to pass;

“Ugrynov” – cars (with a permissible weight of up to 3.5 tons) are allowed in both directions. Pedestrians are only allowed to leave Ukraine for humanitarian purposes;

“Rava-Ruska” – passes cars and trucks, passenger buses in both directions. Pedestrians are only allowed to leave Ukraine for humanitarian purposes;

“Grushiv” – pass cars, trucks (with a permissible weight of up to 7.5 tons), passenger buses in both directions. Pedestrians are allowed to pass only when leaving Ukraine;

“Krakowets” – passes cars and trucks in both directions. Passenger buses can follow only to enter Ukraine. Pedestrians are allowed to pass only when leaving Ukraine;

“Sheghini” – passes cars and trucks, passenger buses and pedestrians in both directions. Note that this is the only checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Polish border through which you can proceed to Ukraine on foot;

“Smilnytsia” – pass cars, trucks (with a permissible weight of up to 7.5 tons) and passenger buses in both directions. Pedestrians are allowed to pass only when leaving Ukraine.

In addition, the passage of citizens is carried out by trains traveling abroad from the Mostyska railway station and the railway station of the city of Lviv. The train schedule may be changed, we advise you to monitor changes in the schedule on the website of Ukrzaliznytsia. We recommend that passengers arrive 1.5-2 hours before the departure of trains in order to pass border and customs control in time.

You can track the presence of queues for departure from Ukraine in front of checkpoints in order to choose the least busy ones for crossing the border on the Facebook page of the Western Regional Department of the State Border Service – Western Border.
