The circus is getting more intense every year. People on the bus are forced to go through the X-ray inspection strip, which is located at a level above one meter, they constantly have to pull a heavy suitcase so high (the next one is crowded into a small room where the oxygen runs out after 10 minutes, as the whole bus has entered. That's not all, in addition to the tape, you also need to go through the dog's inspection, if he approves, we'll go through. All this is fanned by an atmosphere of redneckness and arrogance. It feels like these are not customs officers, but not satisfied hosts, that guests arrived at one o'clock in the morning. You don't know any Kazakh hospitality or even greetings. Drivers work for the employees, also rudely controlling the crowd. A place that always causes only negativity. Second star for the fact that this is probably the only way to get through for me.
They passed quickly (both borders in about an hour in total), the staff are polite
Follow the news on the situation with gasoline in Kazakhstan, its export from the country may be prohibited.
If you are a traveler and you are carrying a canister of fuel with you, then you need to pour gasoline into the tank of the car before passing the border
Well done guys. Basically, everything is always fast and without delay. The only time I encountered an unpleasant moment was at the first barrier when leaving Kazakhstan. The controller, when accepting documents for the registration of an interim document, pointedly disdainfully took and gave back my documents. Emphasizing with all his appearance that he is the king and god here, and we are disenfranchised insects. There was a very negative impression., But it was only once on 12/25/21 at 6.30 am
Of course, I would like to do it faster and more clearly!
Otherwise, guess for yourself, it's not always good and usually comes after you start being overtaken by those following you!
Well, it seems that either there are not enough employees, or to the convenience of serving taxpayers from a position of favor!
Considering the situation at other crossings, it is more or less normal!
THEY PASSED FROM SEMIPALATINSK TO RUSSIA ON MAY 9 AT NIGHT . THE KAZAKHS MISSED IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE STAFF ARE POLITE, TACTFUL AND VERY NEAT. THE SHAPE IS SUPER . THEY WORK WITH PASSPORTS AND DOCUMENTS VERY TACTFULLY . NO RUDENESS . THEY CAME UP TO OURS . THEY'RE JUST COMPLETE BASTARDS. I MADE THE SCUM LAY OUT THE WHOLE CAR. IT 'S LIKE HE 'LL SEE SOMETHING AT NIGHT . WHY WOULD I GO INTO TROUBLE MYSELF AND CARRY SOMETHING ? WE WENT TO VISIT . A THIN , TALL YOUNG MAN WITH A SLAP . HE WAS RUDE LIKE THE NAVEL OF THE EARTH . IN A WORD , A SCHMUCK . THE AUTHORITIES DRAW CONCLUSIONS . HE ONLY HAS TO WORK IN THE ZONE . NOT RESPECT . RUDENESS PREVAILED .
Well, what can I say. Like any other checkpoint, it is packed with cars, pedestrians, and buses. There are no prohibitions, people move from country to country, the point cannot cope with such a wave. Although there are no complaints about the border guards, they work, they are as polite as possible. I think if quarantine restrictions are no longer imposed, everything will gradually return to its rut.
The border of Kazakhstan seems to have passed normally, but I advise everyone who goes by car to do insurance in advance because after the border there are cops and all our Russian cars are slowing down and someone else who goes to the back seat fasten up or they will be fined 500 rubles
I went to the May holidays and crossed the border. It was good that the car was packed under the roof with boxes on the Russian side and on the Kazakh side, no one found fault, I was already surprised.I also drove back loaded under the roof and crossed both borders without any problems
The transition of norms, only one minus cars and trucks are in the same queue. I have been to many customs offices and everywhere cars entered customs in their turn separately from trucks.
A broken-down road, it is impossible to carry suitcases on wheels. There is no help for the elderly, they can't even take a person with a cart who will transport heavy things for a fee. There is no toilet at the crossing, it is very difficult for young children and the elderly. There is no room for mother and child. At the Russian border, people are locked in a ventilated room, they almost suffocated (especially when it's hot). Adults were not allowed to take water for children from bags on the street. They keep them at the barrier for a long time. It's very cold at 7 a.m. They freeze people. And when there will be at least some kind of page on social networks or a website on the Internet where you can officially find out all the information about which documents are exactly needed to cross the border. They're sending a lot of people back.
They passed quickly, but the inspection is very uncultured, they climb the boards themselves, pull out things. We need to improve the culture of inspections
We moved across the border, did not want to let them into Kazakhstan, we went with our family, we talked for a very long time, but we missed it, thank you!
But when we were returning back, we were faced with a terrible attitude, the border guard sitting in the window was very rude, saying that this is the first time you have crossed the border🤦♀️Well, we go there once every five years, and every word through the lip is terrible, they take advantage of the fact that people can't say a word to them.
The item layout is too long.
Nevertheless, they did not fool their heads in both directions, if all the permits (I'm talking about confirming kinship in modern realities) are passed quickly. The PCR was checked quickly. The inspection was carried out quickly. I wrote the same review about the Russian side of Veseloyarka.
The absence of asphalt, broken tiles on the floor, smeared flies and mosquitoes on the walls, a shabby booth and all the furniture. Probably if you dig in the trash, you can find better furniture. Poor girls from sanitary control are sitting at these tables with flies. But this is the state border! It's a disgrace! It's a pity that photography was forbidden, otherwise I would have posted a photo of this horror!
We passed the border at night, we passed quickly, without delay, because we do not carry anything forbidden) we walked. There was an inspection, and there is nowhere without it! This is the border! The dog was running too, so cute and hungry. I feel so sorry for her. We walked back after lunch, also all pleasant. Especially the honey post)
In principle, the norms. However, we stand for a long time. And so everything is as always. Either unload it or ..... Well, you get it. In general, you can't trample on the system. It's more expensive for yourself. As it is, we are all human beings. Kazakhs are sincere guys. 👍
The territory is dirty inside and out, although there are garbage cans, people throw garbage, cigarette butts, packages, border guards, how the gods feel at work, the lighting is weak, the road is flat and all in holes of power, pay attention
to this, remove the time yourself and look at it, because this is the border face of our State....
The collective farm. On the part of the Russian Federation, they stood stupidly for 3 hours without moving, then in 5 minutes they inspected the car and carried out passport control.
It is not clear how they work, few people passed by, but it takes time as a whole train of 100 wagons in general lingered at customs, especially in the Kazakh mess
You don't have to do it once, sometimes you stand for a long time, but most times you go through customs quickly. Long service of the export department.
Crossing the border took place without any problems. Everyone is working clearly and quickly, the queue was moving forward at the points without delay.
The 21st century, and the Kazakhs had such a feeling, remained in the 18th century, the documents were filled out for 1.5 hours. At night. I can't say anything good ((((
The attitude towards people is very bad, the check is tough, all things have been shaken up, everything has been turned over.It is not easier to put a magnetic tape to scan luggage both at the airport and railway stations.
They passed quickly from Russia. And there were a lot of people walking back. No one was being held on the street. There were inadequate people, because of whom I had to listen to the or..
To be honest, I don't even want to go to Kazakhstan. But you need to:My parents live there. You stand in line for 5 hours.Is this how it should be when crossing the border in a simplified way? People get angry, they swear among themselves, it comes to a fight when someone tries to get in without waiting in line. Once there was an accident in neutral, so the traffic police were called. You need to contact the hotline more often with complaints about poor performance. We need to do something about it, it can't go on like this.This applies not only to the Auyl customs. The Russian point does not work any better.
The Russian border is just a nightmare, they keep cars on duty, I was driving with the children from Tomsk, I got to the border in 13 hours, the border guard made me take everything out of the car and trunk, and since I had two children, there were a lot of things.when I pulled out all the things, he just came over, looked at what things I pulled out, didn't even check the trunk and left, just a mockery !!!! Everything went quickly and without strain on the Kazakh border, the border guards are adequate people
Very boorish border guards are sitting there, they don't hand over their passport, like you do to them, but throw it on the counter and talk as if there is not a sergeant sitting in the booth, but a general!!!
Everything is fine. In normal mode... That's the trouble with the toilet....the outhouse has never been cleaned. ...this is kapets....put paid toilets!
It's terribly inconvenient, you carry bags up the stairs, the ramp is not installed at all, why drag these bags through the control if you can install the same benches as in Veseloyarsk
They were allowed through the Russian border, but for some reason there were not enough documents through the Kazakh border. I'm shocked! I had to go back 800 km.
In recent trips, a huge queue has happened on the Kazakh side. We stood for 4 hours on the non-sacred territory. And this is in the absence of a toilet. And this situation has been going on for more than 15 years. Please resolve this issue.
