It's a very terrible checkpoint in every sense, there's garbage, dirt, everything is fucked up. The roads are terrible, you can break through the bottom and the wheels, the border guards themselves work like in a bazaar, they take a long time and look, they don't explain anything. Everyone is swearing obscenities. It's very long and hard to drive.

If you have a free week and strong nerves, you can visit and taste all the "charm". The queue stretches for many kilometers, Cars with Russian license plates (exclusively from the nearest region) are the third row. For the rest, waiting for 2-3 days among the citizens of Central Asia, there is no place for normal food outlets, shops and toilets. Local businessmen sell places in the queue, you can buy a little closer and stand for 10 hours.

The border crossing on the Russian Federation-ROK border is open around the clock. The queue of cars and trucks is separate. Buses don't queue at all. The machines are launched in "packs" of 10 - 15 pcs. They give you a ticket at the entrance, which should contain three seals. If you intend to travel further than the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is better to use a foreign passport. In September 2025, it passed in 2 hours.
