I have to drive through this crossing regularly for work. Walking is quite fast, and you will spend several hours by car. They run 2-3 cars each, they check extremely slowly. 1-2 of the 4 windows work at passport control, and even there the employees are in no hurry. Things have to be dragged through mud or dust, depending on the weather. There's garbage everywhere. The toilet is paid - a booth with a hole in the floor. There is still a lot to write, but nothing good.
We crossed the checkpoint on 31.07 and 14.08. 31 were the 7th in the queue for passenger cars, stood for about an hour. The border guards entered the base, the customs service asked where we were going, found out that the tourists had searched the car, personal belongings and missed. Everything was done in 15 minutes. On the way back, they asked for personal belongings to be carried through an X-ray, together with border control, they met in 25 minutes. The child who was traveling with me in the car passed the crossing on foot, and also managed to eat at the exit. Citizens of the Russian Federation, the transfer was carried out using foreign passports.
Today I passed the border, there is no tape. The border guard from Kazakhstan said that you would leave an inspection or a tip that the one who left all the little things that were in the car was 1400 rubles. We are working well
I passed the border through Kazakhstan, everything was terrible, they double-checked every millimeter, they dig up every little thing, they are rude, they treated terribly, I do not advise!!!
Why are,,,locals ,,, without waiting in line?I understand the queue, why do they have an advantage?What *** when they fled to Russia, were their privileges like ,,, refugees,,, That *** back again privileges????I was born there, too, like them, but for some reason I don't climb, even though the baby is in the car, I'm standing in line, probably I didn't come out with a mug.😡😡😡
The terrible border is forced to carry bags, all of them are searched one by one.. it's the fifth time I've passed this border and they always don't have a rengen working and ask for bags to go into the building where the management is looking
People are suffering, they stand in line for 5-10 hours. Intermediaries, including traffic police, offer to skip the queue for money. Because of these, the common people have been standing for so long. Where is the border guard of Kazakhstan looking
It takes a long time to wait on a passenger car, there are a lot of KAMAZ trucks, they are checked for a long time. And it's a long way from this border to Bishkek, the roads in Kyrgyzstan are not very good. It would be better if I drove along the KZ on concrete to Kordai, and from there to Bishkek.
So, in general, it's normal, but I saw a new road.
The Kazakhs are just not polite, as if they came to their house, everywhere they asked for money, what is on the control that is on the road, may Allah give our Kazakh brothers Iman🤲
Everything is fine and fast on foot, but the Kazakhs ask drivers to "make an outlet" - that is, give us money and we won't bother you (they can force you to carry a spare tire for X-rays, remove door cards, etc.)
I was traveling with young children, I did not give in to hints from the Kazakh border guard, I was forced to take out all the bags and let them through the X-ray. It seems to be the way it should be, but why offer,, paid services,, would check the entire car with a X-ray.
We crossed the border towards Kyrgyzstan in 15 minutes and 10 bucks to the Kyrgyz (we were told not to check if we had some money). Kazakhs are generally good, without problems and queues. The trucks were in a long queue.
We were traveling from Kyrgyzstan. The Kyrgyz missed it without any problems. The Kazakhs extorted a bribe of 1000 rubles. for the smooth passage of the border
