A fee is being introduced for electronic queue booking at the border between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
The measure is being taken to regulate queues at the border and improve the operation of checkpoints. The electronic queue system will allow drivers and passengers to book their border crossing time in advance.
The amount of the fee and the procedure for its collection have not yet been specified. However, the step is expected to reduce long queues at the border and increase the efficiency of checkpoints.
Recall that cross-border cooperation between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan has been actively developing in recent years. Mutual travel for citizens of both countries is being simplified, and border control procedures are being improved.
