On the evening of October 30, about 100 people did not have time to cross the border before the checkpoint was closed. The wait from Ivangorod to Narva can reach more than 5 hours, in the opposite direction - from three. The Russian Foreign Ministry explained the burden of comprehensive checks on the part of Estonia, which has been checking all arrivals and departures since September. The Russian checkpoint is open 24 hours a day, while the Estonian checkpoint is only open from 08:00 to 20:00. Due to prolonged checks on the Estonian side, the Russian border guard has to periodically suspend the passage of people. As a result, only 20 people are allowed onto the bridge every half hour, based on the willingness of the Estonian side to accept the next group. At the same time, the first ten people can immediately go to the Estonian checkpoint, while the rest have to wait their turn again on the bridge over the Nerva River.
