oh damn, the Uzbeks are doing well, they are building a new customs border, but our side is pandemonium, stuffy, there is no condition, it seems that they are artificially making a stir, a crowd, etc., for a mover
We passed the border in October. From Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan. Just a horror of course. The queue is not the worst thing. The queue is occupied by locals and they sell seats, because of them the queue is so long and is created. There are a lot of selling places in the queue. The most terrible thing is the attitude of Kazakh border guards to people, and it doesn't matter if you are Russian or Uzbek, Tajik. Just extortion of money from everyone except citizens of Kazakhstan, of course. Just give me 2000 and that's it, I forgot dinner at home today. Hands fumble on the boards. When they said there was no money, they took a jar of honey. We passed the border with parents and children. There is also no respect for age, they poke, they can push, they yell that you got up.
In general, we were in terrible shock, and then Uzbekistan passed, we were afraid. It turned out to be the opposite. Very respectful. Hello, goodbye, welcome (it's at three in the morning). Very long and carefully inspected, all things are asked to get and put on the tape. They don't touch anything in the car with their hands, they ask to open it. After the brazen Kazakhs, it's just perfect.
In general, we were in terrible shock from passing this border. We decided that we would go back through another post, but it turned out that the Kazakhs were extorting money there too. Everything is identical. Only here the driver needs to put money directly into the passport at passport control. Naturally, we did not put it, at first we did not know, then when we saw that the seal was not put (and we were already leaving the post, they stopped us and said there was no seal, go through again). As a result, the husband passed 4 times. I had to go to the boss, then they put a seal on it. Three skins are being torn from the poor citizens of Uzbekistan. They put them in rows, no matter children, women or the elderly. Simply so. They don't let you into the toilets.
We passed the borders of Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey, Azerbaijan by car, but such lawlessness is only in Kazakhstan.
We will definitely return to Uzbekistan, but only by plane.
I didn't like it, it was dirty and long. There are no sanitary standards. Heat - no air conditioners are not working. There is no organized work in sight. There are queues everywhere. The bandwidth is low! The appearance of the employees does not correspond to the drill regulations. I'm talking about the Side from the Republic of Kazakhstan. And the opposite is true from Uzbekistan,
I always leave my car on the Kazakh side ( in the private sector , because I did not find public parking) , first of all, it is a big problem to drive to the Uzbek territory , you can lose from 3 hours to 24 hours , they walk *** from the Kazakh side , who offer to help drive quickly , take money and disappear , yes many will say now , that money should not be given earlier , but there is exactly such a scheme , money in advance . On the Uzbek side , there are always such techniques that create artificial difficulties so that a person is forced to pay . The Duty Free store is always closed ( I have been traveling constantly for three years ) , the windows are well filled , but it has never worked . Some kind of Makhnovist position , as private property , certainly does not look like a state border . There is no such lawlessness at the airport , but the same services work .
It is better not to cross the border by car! On December 8, 2023, I crossed it for as many as 14 hours! It's just a horror!!!! But the footwork is just brilliant, 15-20 minutes and voila, you've already crossed the border
It's just awful!!! One of the worst customs! Everything has been done to ensure that people pay different intermediaries, for crossing the border, for currency exchange! No control from the state! It's like a third world country(((
It's very good to cross the border in the evening there are few people and most importantly the dogs are on the alert there they have time to inspect with their eyes it was nice to see that the dog handlers did a good job
There are a lot of people, a crazy crowd. People are carrying something back and forth in bales and boxes. It's dusty, dirty, and there are no toilets inside.
Well, of course there's a traffic jam and a lot of very many visitors . Well, the borders.

A disgusting border post, a simple mockery of people, incompetent customs officers, you have to stand in line for 14 hours to cross the border, moreover, border residents artificially create a queue and sell a place in the queue, it is possible for the management of the post and at hand, the corruption component is visible, perhaps someone warms their hands
Of course, there is more order than 5 years ago, but the passage of this customs is still considered a test. The scope for automation and optimization is very large
From the side of Kazakhstan, everything is easy and simple, why won't I write and I've heard everything. But on the part of Uzbekistan, it is "simple", it is in quotation marks, there is no thought-out inspection system, it was possible to optimize the processes and then the flow would pass faster.
There are a lot of cars, the staff is not very kind, especially the Kazakh post, I do not know if they receive a salary or live at the expense of others several times I drove from there, but they ask for money as if I owe them
I often pass a very good post. This time, the border guards saw a disabled sign in my car, they missed the queue and stopped right next to the X-ray so that it would be easier for me to get my bags and shift them. Well done guys, what's in Uzbekistan what's in Kazakhstan
Why are you rejecting a bad impression???
Kapets we went through customs for a very long time. If you pay, they let you through, if you don't pay, then they spend a long time. It's a terrible queue. It is better to fly by plane or go by train than by your own car.
It's good for taxi drivers here, I arrived, waited 5 minutes, 3-4 customers will already be at least 20-25 thousand to the city. It happened to me when I went there on business
Everyone has their own profession, their own job, we must follow the rules of the law, everyone must defend their country, so I think that the border guards do their job in good faith and they also took the oath to defend their homeland
The customs are doing well, they are trying to work quickly. For example, from Uzbekistan, you pass by your car in about 5-6 hours on average. From Kazakhstan in 2-3 hours. Ours are better.
The disgusting Border outpost that I have met in my life! The attitude towards people is bestial! Employees do not perform their functions properly. Corruption is rampant!
A creepy place..... in all aspects. You can stand by car for 12-14 hours. That's what happened to me on the Turkic New Year 24. I don't recommend it at all. Look for other routes.
Be careful, there are a lot of beggars who do not know and do not understand the words of refusal. The last time they even applied after refusing to give alms. Queues and a large number of people, unpleasant odors(
You can stand here for a very long time. People are constantly climbing under the wheels, offering to exchange currency and buy a queue. We bought a queue for 4000 rubles, drove right in and eventually crossed the border in 4.5 hours. As I understand it, this is the minimum travel time from Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan. The Kazakh side passes very quickly, but the Uzbek side does everything for a very long time, turns the whole car over, demands to drive all the luggage through the scanner. This greatly delays the process. In the opposite direction, everything went very quickly. There was no queue to enter, there was a superficial inspection, both borders passed in an hour.
I will say this, at the exit from Tashkent, the border guards do not shake their nerves, there are no problems at all from the KZ side, but if you enter from the KZ side into Uzbekistan, all the most interesting and nerve-racking things begin here, the queue, while from the KZ border guards they almost do not dig in, but from the Uzbek side the border guards may even begin to remove the car trim... Every car is meticulously inspected... It's just terrible!
It is very convenient that you can exchange currency right at the border, a large selection of taxis to Shymkent. Minus the inflated price for night travel.
There are very long queues. Do not expect a human attitude from the border guards towards yourself. Well, I didn't reciprocate. Especially neighbors who like to "drink tea" have to immediately explain their attitude to handouts and bribes. If you say that you will not give money, they begin to come up with tasks for carrying luggage. But that's okay, that's where their powers end. In Uzbekistan, on the contrary, everything is "according to the charter." No hack work, but at the same time polite treatment, almost always. They serve with dignity
As if this is a customs office not to another country but to HELL…
There are always a lot of cars, due to the fact that they keep their own cars in the front rows, then they offer seats for money ... if you want to go faster, you have to buy seats, otherwise you can hang out it's not clear how much... the sellers are in places for one with the border guards and they almost control them, tell them who is the first and how much I paid and who to launch first ... in general, full house ... so who goes through Kazakhstan to another country patience to you and good luck on the roads…
Having such a flow of people, for some reason both countries do not create normal conditions for people, there are no access roads, infrastructure, ventilation, or cooling on both the Kazakh and Uzbek sides.
Complete lawlessness, Kazakhs work poorly, ask for money for a queue to skip quickly, it's at least 4-5 hours fast, artificially create queues, you can get in for a day, and so on
There are a lot of people and queues at random, whoever is smart is the first. We need to organize more windows and electronic passageways. There are electronic passport passes on the Uzbek side. Super!
High workload due to the closure of Kaplanbek customs
How far to go neutral
There is a partial construction, I hope this will facilitate the level of passage of the TC
