Frequent questions
- Is Palanca open 24 hours?

- No. Palanca is vehicle-only: cars, buses.
- Which crossings are nearby?
- The Moldova ↔ Ukraine border also has: Mohyliv-Podilskyi, Kuchurhan, Starokozache. Their queues move independently, so it is worth checking several before you set off.
- Can I book a transfer to Uman from here?
- Yes. Palanca is one of the Uman148 pickup points: a driver meets you on the Ukrainian side and takes you to Uman. Border waiting time is already included in the price.
