This is a long-planned exercise aimed at practicing response measures in the event of migration pressure and tackling a national defence crisis. Some of the exercise activities will be conducted at the Narva border crossing point. Therefore, the Narva border crossing point will be temporarily closed from 30 April to 2 May and it will not be possible to cross the border at the Narva border crossing point. During this time, people can cross the border at the Koidula and Luhamaa border crossing points, which are open 24/7 and where it is also possible to cross the border by car. The border crossing point will reopen for regular operations on 3 May.
The exercise will not affect the opening hours of the Tax and Customs Board’s Narva service bureau. On 30 April and 2 May, our Narva service bureau will be open as usual (Mon–Thu 9:00–16:30, Fri 9:00–15:30). Cross-border traffic for freight trains will continue. We have considered the possible increase in workload at the Koidula and Luhamaa border crossing points, which is why more resources have been directed there for the exercise period.
