Border Checkpoints
Ukraine — Poland
The Ukraine — Poland border is the main transport corridor between Ukraine and the European Union. Every day thousands of people cross it through checkpoints Shehyni-Medyka, Rava-Ruska-Hrebenne, Krakovets-Korczowa and Uhryniv-Dołhobyczów. GoEuropeUA provides private transfers through all these checkpoints, ensuring maximum comfort for passengers. The Shehyni-Medyka checkpoint is one of the largest on the Ukrainian-Polish border, located near Lviv. It is convenient for Lviv — Przemyśl and Lviv — Kraków routes. Krakovets-Korczowa is the main checkpoint for transfers from Lviv to Warsaw and further into Europe. Rava-Ruska-Hrebenne is an alternative option with shorter queues, used on the route to Lublin and Warsaw. Uhryniv-Dołhobyczów is the least busy checkpoint, ideal for trips towards Zamość and Lublin. GoEuropeUA provides private international door-to-door transfers with full border assistance.

Required Documents
To cross the Ukraine — Poland border, Ukrainian citizens need a valid biometric passport. The visa-free regime allows a stay in EU countries of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Make sure your passport is valid for at least 3 months after the planned date of return. Third-country nationals may need a Schengen visa or EU residence permit. We recommend checking visa requirements for your citizenship in advance. It is also advisable to have the following: confirmation of accommodation booking or return ticket, travel health insurance, and sufficient funds for your stay. When travelling with children — the child's birth certificate and a notarised consent from the other parent if the child is travelling with one parent.
Border Crossing Tips
Plan your Ukraine — Poland border crossing in advance. The longest queues occur on Friday evenings and Sunday evenings, as well as before holidays. The optimal time to cross the border is on weekdays in the morning (5:00 to 8:00) or late in the evening (after 22:00). Our GoEuropeUA drivers monitor the border situation in real time and choose the least busy checkpoint. Prepare your documents in advance — keep passports handy, not in the trunk. Make sure your phone is charged as border guards may ask to see supporting documents in electronic form. There are import restrictions at the border: up to 2 cartons of cigarettes, up to 4 litres of alcohol, total value of goods up to 300 euros (or 430 euros when travelling by air). Animal products are prohibited from import into the EU. With GoEuropeUA you don't need to worry about border crossing logistics — our experienced drivers know all the nuances and will help you pass control as quickly as possible.
