Barabási Border Crossing

Currently relatively short waiting time (4-5 hours) on the Ukrainian side. Refugees receive excellent care from the Hungarian Caritas.

Stood for more than 5 hours on August 28, 2021. The reason is difficult to explain. The polite, adequate Hungarian border guards and customs officers in every possible way contributed to the formation of a queue. It seems that everything is being done, but so that the pass does not work in full force. A bus was put on one lane where the Hungarians of Beregovoy were vaccinated. Accordingly, there is only one exit lane. Periodically, the pass stopped for a while. They asked to get all the things from the car of almost everyone entering. Rumors immediately began to circulate that this was a kind of strike addressed to the Hungarian authorities to increase the salaries of employees at checkpoints. By the way, on that day, the same thing happened on the pass from Serbia to Hungary, only there was a queue of thousands of cars.

Small checkpoint to Hungary. Passed quickly without delay, everything is comfortable.

Hungarian customs officers, a model of cattle and rudeness. Hungarian crossings on the border with Ukraine, the worst in Europe.

In general, not bad, especially comparing Chop, Poland. Luzhanka. We went not for the first time. You should know some features: 1. On Sunday there are always a lot of cars and people to enter Hungary. And if after the holidays, you can stand in line for 6-7 hours and do not enter. Open until 19.00 CET. 2. Hungarians meticulously check all cars, looking in all compartments and bags. Approximately every 5-7 cars are driven to the pit. But there is one thing: if our people take the car through their part of the point for a bribe or a bribe, the Hungarian side passes them very indulgently, without looking back. That is, if you are in front of thieves, then there will be a very long test of you. 3. It is difficult to issue a tax free, because there is no person at the point who is responsible for it. We have to wait from Luzhanka, which is at least 2 hours, plus the work of the inspector who will not be satisfied, of course, and it is also 1-2 hours. So keep that in mind. Conclusion, it is worth going to this point, but you should appear on it from 9 to 12 o'clock, not on Sundays, not after the holidays, do not count on a tax free (or if you have a stock of 4 hours). And by the way, the M3 motorway is also very fast (up to 30 km).
