I have to drive through this crossing regularly for work. Walking is quite fast, and you will spend several hours by car. They run 2-3 cars each, they check extremely slowly. 1-2 of the 4 windows work at passport control, and even there the employees are in no hurry. Things have to be dragged through mud or dust, depending on the weather. There's garbage everywhere. The toilet is paid - a booth with a hole in the floor. There is still a lot to write, but nothing good.
We crossed the checkpoint on 31.07 and 14.08. 31 were the 7th in the queue for passenger cars, stood for about an hour. The border guards entered the base, the customs service asked where we were going, found out that the tourists had searched the car, personal belongings and missed. Everything was done in 15 minutes. On the way back, they asked for personal belongings to be carried through an X-ray, together with border control, they met in 25 minutes. The child who was traveling with me in the car passed the crossing on foot, and also managed to eat at the exit. Citizens of the Russian Federation, the transfer was carried out using foreign passports.
Today I passed the border, there is no tape. The border guard from Kazakhstan said that you would leave an inspection or a tip that the one who left all the little things that were in the car was 1400 rubles. We are working well
