Does the EES system work at Zahony border crossing?

Yes, the Entry/Exit System (EES) is active at Zahony border crossing.

The system records the date, time and place of border crossing, as well as biometric data (fingerprints and facial photo).

When does shift change occur at checkpoints on the Ukrainian border?

The shift change on the Ukrainian side of the border takes place twice a day - at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. These are regular changes that ensure the continuity of border control. It should be taken into account that during the shift change there are often delays in servicing all types of border crossings. We recommend planning your trip taking this factor into account.
