The official border-traffic website Granica.gov.pl shows that as of the morning of 16 June, passenger and freight crossings at Połowce and Sławatycze (both on the Belarus frontier) are “temporarily suspended.” No end date was provided, and travellers are redirected to alternative points such as Kuźnica and Terespol. The suspension follows a spike in attempted irregular crossings and is part of an evolving risk-based closure policy that has seen Poland progressively limit the number of operational checkpoints with Belarus since 2024. Logistics firms moving goods between Poland and the Eurasian Economic Union now face detours of up to 200 kilometres, adding transit time and fuel costs. Poland’s Internal Security Agency also warned of potential hybrid threats originating from Belarus.

VisaHQ’s online platform can step in to streamline any sudden documentation needs triggered by these reroutes. Whether travellers must pivot to alternative Schengen crossings or freight operators require updated transit permits, the Poland hub at https://www.visahq.com/poland/ delivers real-time visa requirements, expedited processing and live support—helping companies and individuals stay compliant and minimise downtime.
Companies shipping just-in-time components are advised to reroute via Koroszczyn/Kukuryki, where dedicated freight lanes remain open but waiting times have jumped to one to two hours. For individual travellers—including many Belarusian shoppers and Polish citizens visiting family—the closure means longer lines at the still-open Terespol rail-road complex. Carriers have begun issuing flexible tickets allowing rebooking without penalty. Border Guard officials review the suspension daily and say the measure could be lifted if the security situation stabilises. Mobility managers should monitor the granica.gov.pl dashboard, which updates eight times per day.
