User Reviews

Shehyni checkpoint presents highly variable experiences with significant wait time inconsistencies. User sentiment is deeply divided: reviews from June 2024 consistently praise quick 20-30 minute crossings with minimal queues, while reports from August-December 2024 describe grueling 4-7 hour waits. The checkpoint appears to have experienced operational degradation over time, with pedestrian crossing particularly affected. Polish side authorities conduct thorough manual baggage inspections, which contributes to slower processing. A system failure in January 2025 left pedestrians waiting 20 minutes just to begin processing. Key recommendations from successful crossings: arrive during early morning hours (7-9 AM) when queues are minimal, expect 2-4 hour waits during peak periods (especially afternoon), and prepare for detailed baggage inspection on the Polish side. The dramatic difference between best (2-7 minutes) and worst (7 hours) crossing times suggests timing and day-of-week significantly impact experience.
