International road checkpoints are designed to control the flow of foreign citizens entering the country. Often the influx of people becomes so significant that border guards are no longer able to check those who enter the country. To prevent the throughput of border points from decreasing, electronic queuing systems have been installed at many of them. This article will consider the features of entering Poland through road points and booking a queue at the border with Poland - its cost and procedure.
Entering Poland by private car
First of all, border service workers pay attention to the technical serviceability of the car. Particular attention is paid to rims, headlights, windshields, the use of studded tires is prohibited.
A driver who enters the country by car requires a complete set of essentials, consisting of a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, reflective vests, emergency sign and spare tire.
The presence of registration documents for the car, insurance, visa and foreign passport of the driver must be checked.
The number of automobile border points consists of six Ukrainian, six Belarusian and four Russian points (Kaliningrad region). Entry into the EU through the Polish border is carried out according to a control card, which is issued at the initial stage of the check and is filled in as it passes. Baggage checks at the border are carried out taking into account the norms established by Poland.
How much does the booking cost and how long is it valid
Reservation of a place in the electronic queue can be made 90 days before the trip, but no later than three hours before arrival at the checkpoint. It is necessary to complete the registration procedure on the website and receive an individual booking number.
