It is also used at checkpoints on the Polish-Ukrainian border.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This means that all pilgrims will be registered in the system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">During initial registration, fingerprints and other biometric data will be collected. These procedures may increase the time required to pass through border control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that this is particularly important during periods of high traffic volume, when large numbers of people and vehicles are crossing the border simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In addition, pilgrims should take into account the situation at the <strong>\u201cMedyka\u2013Shehyni\u201d<\/strong> border crossing, where modernization work is underway. As a result, the number of buses that can be processed is limited.<\/p>\n<p>The Polish side recommends planning your route in advance, choosing appropriate border crossing points, and allowing extra time for the journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"wpm_excerpt clearfix\"><p>Pilgrims planning a trip to Uman for Rosh Hashanah via Poland should be aware of the new border control procedures at the European Union\u2019s external borders. &hellip;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2945,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3396"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3396\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3407,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3396\/revisions\/3407"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
