The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs Romanian citizens who are in, transiting or intending to travel to the Republic of Turkey that during the mini-vacation period for the Easter holidays, April 22 - 25, 2022, long waiting times are expected at road border crossing points.
Thus, Romanian citizens are advised to use all three crossing points between the Republic of Bulgaria and the Republic of Turkey , namely Kapitan Andreevo (BG) - Kapikule (TR), Lesovo (BG) - Hamzabeyli (TR), Malko Tîrnovo (BG) - Kirklareli (TR) and to ensure that they have sufficient fuel, water and food.
I had an unfortunate experience last year and even brought it to the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that they could at least issue a travel alert. Things have changed!
