From August 21 to 26, the Kosyno checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Hungarian border will undergo scheduled modular construction replacement. In this regard, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS) has warned of a possible slowdown in the border crossing process. This information was published on the official SBGS Telegram channel.

We have described in detail how to plan a trip by car from Ukraine to Hungary in this article.

Crossing the border at Kosyno-Barabash checkpoint: what do you need to know?


During the works, the rhythmic operation of the checkpoint may be disrupted, which can lead to significant delays for drivers and passengers. Therefore, anyone planning to travel through this checkpoint during this period is advised to carefully consider this factor when planning their routes.

Drivers and passengers are asked to be prepared for possible queues and additional time that may be required to cross the border. If possible, it is recommended to choose alternative routes to avoid possible inconveniences.

Tips for those planning to cross the border


In order to minimize the impact of possible delays on their plans, travelers are advised to check in advance the latest information on the status of the Kosyno checkpoint on the official resources of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. It is also important to take into account possible delays in advance and leave time in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Alternative routes and recommendations


Taking into account possible delays, travelers should consider other border crossing points on the border with Hungary, which may be less busy during this period. You can cross the border by car at the following checkpoints: Chop (Tisa), Dzvinkove, Luzhanka, Vylok. The longest queues are usually at the Chop (Tisa) crossing point.

Remember! A Green Card insurance policy is required to enter Hungary by car. Without such insurance, the car will not be allowed across the border! In addition, the absence or delay of insurance is fraught not only with fines that are several dozen times higher than the cost of the insurance policy for a year, but also with the seizure of the car and deportation from the country with a subsequent ban on entry. You can take out insurance for the required period on our website.

We remind you! Traveling abroad by car requires prior preparation, as this is one of the key aspects that helps to avoid unforeseen problems and expenses. In this article, we tell you all about planning a trip abroad by car, the necessary documents, and other important nuances.
