I don't like how the pass system is set up at all, we stand for 14 hours with children without food and we don't know how much longer we will stand,
The shift that worked on December 23, 2023 from 7 a.m. worked very poorly and missed very few cars. They also rudely answer citizens' questions
The checkpoint itself is modern and well equipped. There are two duty free on our territory, on Polish territory you can buy a green card (car insurance), get tax free, an exchanger with a good exchange rate.
but!!!! Queues can be simply gigantic. Standing 5-7 hours to cross two borders is more the norm than the exception, but there are also happy cases when both borders can be crossed in less than an hour, but this is more the exception than the norm.
There is a magnificent highway from Kaliningrad to the border without settlements.The checkpoint itself is modern and convenient.There are many lanes for cars, there are toilets, Duty Free.On the Polish side, you can have a snack, drink coffee, get Tax Free. Currency exchange (a completely acceptable exchange rate, not like at Gdansk airport).I recommend
It is not surprising that every Kaliningrad resident visited this point at least once a year. Special thanks to all our customs officers and border guards. They are always polite and try to process the documents as quickly as possible. And it's not their fault that there are huge queues, there are no cafes, there are not enough toilets,
The point itself is large, there are a lot of built-in passes-but they work a little.Poles keep mostly 3-4 hours on trips to Poland.For the last 2 years, Russians have been at a maximum of 30 minutes. But the Poles crossed it 1 time in 2 years - in an hour.And usually 3.5 hours.There are queues for a couple of hours in Russia on working days in the evening.
There is everything you need to relax, there is a Playground, tables, a toilet, a gas station and Parking is quite large, cameras are installed everywhere
A large, beautiful crossing, friendly border guards, there is a cafe on the Polish side, a large parking lot, a toilet. The main thing is that there would be no queues.
It couldn't be better - 20 minutes on the Russian side and 6 hours on the Polish side. To get to the conference on time, we have to leave a day in advance. This is the policy of the Polish authorities and the attitude towards Russians. And in vain - ordinary Poles are wonderful people. We tolerate this piggishness only for their sake. Otherwise we wouldn't have gone....
A wonderful checkpoint) No matter how much we travel as a family, there are always queues. Maybe such a fate? But no, it's all about international relations. Polish border guards and customs officers were given an order at an unspoken level - a car in 15 minutes. That's the whole story, despite the fact that the Slavs seem to be brothers...
The border crossing of Russia Poland has a toilet, the passage of the border does not take much time, there is also a cafe on the Polish side, green cards are issued
I passed it more than once. It seems that our customs is working three times faster than the Polish one. What is the reason is not clear. Maybe they have other time limits?
But in general, there is a good attitude on both sides
Everything is within acceptable limits. On our side, they act in an organized, solid, respectful, confident manner. There are no complaints against the Polish side. The event is serious. From here, the actions are serious. The flow is large. Thank you all.
Good information structure, you fly like an airplane on the Russian side, everyone is smiling, they work fast. The Polish side is an ambush, it feels like they don't want to let into the country
The Polish customs drove into the "pit" before illuminating the car with X-rays, they scratched all the doors with iron screwdrivers while removing the cladding....They were looking for something...probably yesterday...They didn't find it...
There are all conditions for waiting when crossing the state border. Minus, there are periodically long queues due to the slow work of the Polish border guard service.
There are no complaints or complaints about the checkpoint itself. But the Polish side was working very badly at the time of crossing the border. 20-22 minutes for 1 car.
