Frequently asked questions
Who can cross at Volodymyr – Hrubieszów, railway?
Freight trains only: passenger service is suspended.
What documents do I need to drive to Poland?
A passport, driving licence, vehicle registration certificate, a Green Card for the car (without it you will not be let onto the Polish side) and medical insurance for entering the Schengen area. If the car is not yours, a power of attorney from the owner.
Why do queue figures differ between sources?
The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine counts vehicles in front of the crossing on the Ukrainian side, the Polish Border Guard gives the approximate waiting time for entry to Ukraine on the Polish side, and the eCherha queue system only sees registered vehicles. These are different measures, so we show them separately, each with its update time.
Where the figures come from
Ukrainian side: the State Border Guard Service map, showing how many vehicles are waiting in front of the crossing and how fast they are processed. Polish side: Straż Graniczna, the approximate waiting time for entry to Ukraine, updated up to 8 times a day. These are different measures, so we do not add them up, and next to every figure we show when it was updated. «Usually» and the tables come from our own measurements over the last 8 weeks, and «how long you waited» comes from drivers' reports on this page.
