Belarus Borders
Read full descriptionHide full description
Find out which crossing gets you into the EU faster, and when your own car will be called. Live queues at every road crossing from Belarus to Poland, Lithuania and Latvia: Brest – Terespol, Berestovitsa – Bobrowniki, Bruzgi – Kuźnica, Benyakoni, Kamenny Log – Medininkai, Kotlovka, Grigorovshchina. The forecast counts both the queue and your drive to the crossing, and when your turn comes you get a loud alert or a phone call. WHAT IT DOES • Compare crossings. How many cars are waiting, how many are called per hour, how long our forecast says you will wait, and how far the crossing is from you. One screen instead of five browser tabs. • Join the electronic queue. Car, request, payment — three steps in the app. Payment goes through the national ERIP system: the queue fee is collected by the state service, not by us. • Track your car. Position, call forecast and queue speed update on their own. When your turn comes, a loud alert arrives even if the phone is on silent. • Crossing stages. Belarusian side, neutral zone, EU side: the app prompts what to do and how long each stage usually takes. • Watch (sold separately). The phone sits in a mount facing the car in front and wakes you when it moves off. Works without internet, right there in the queue. • Wake-up call (sold separately). An ordinary phone call when your turn is near — it cuts through silent mode. • Weather at the crossing, opening hours, and which documents to prepare. STRAIGHT TALK We are an independent app and are not affiliated with any government body. The queue is run by the state system; we show its data and help you work with it. The wait forecast is an estimate based on queue history, not a promise: we do not control the border. One direction for now: from Belarus to Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, passenger cars.

Czarha helps you cross the border between Belarus and Poland, Lithuania or Latvia without wasting hours: it shows the waiting-zone queue, how long the crossing really takes, and when to set off for the checkpoint. THE WAITING-ZONE QUEUE • How many vehicles of your type are in the electronic queue, and when the figures were taken. • How many were let through in the last hour, against the usual pace over 30 days. • An estimate of the wait until you're called in, and a trend: growing, steady or shrinking. • A warning when the queue jumps, stalls or moves slower than usual. HOW LONG THE CROSSING TAKES • The median time of the whole crossing — from the queue to leaving the checkpoint — over 7 days, 30 days or all time. • A breakdown by leg: the departure side, the neutral zone, the arrival side. • Who is crossing right now, and other drivers' recently finished crossings. WHEN TO LEAVE Registered in the electronic queue and still on your way? Enter your plate: Czarha finds your place, predicts your call, allows for the drive to the waiting zone and a margin, and notifies you when it's time to leave. The tracking has a screen of its own: a timeline from joining the queue to your call, when to leave, and how far the forecast has shifted. On iPhone the forecast stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. The plate stays on your phone: the server only gets a one-way hash of it. REPORT YOUR CROSSING At the checkpoint, stamp each stage with one tap: the queue, passport control and customs on both sides. Reports work offline, and you can stamp straight from the Lock Screen without opening the app. Your stamps anonymously show other drivers how long the crossing really takes. NO SIGN-UP No name, phone number or email. The app creates an anonymous identifier, and you can save an access key to bring your reports back on a new phone. No ads, no analytics, no trackers. Languages: English, Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Lithuanian. Czarha is an unofficial service and is not affiliated with any government agency. Queue data comes from the public electronic queue system (mon.declarant.by); crossing times come from drivers' reports.
