Are there any possibilities to fasten the proces?? Thanks!

But there are so many border crossings, which one will you be using? Then we might be able to comment. Personally, I've not yet "done" the Ukraine but another member "chris rein" has. Les

In total we used 1.5 hour to fix it all, even with border guards that were not that willing to work. I later crossed the Russian - Latvian border in 20 minutes! I do have the experience that most of the time there are not that many people that cross the border at the end of the afternoon / beginning of the evening, it might be busier in the morning. And the border from Ukraine towards Poland was very busy! (Again I was lucky to travel it the other way, from Poland towards Ukraine)
