About the Kelebija / Tompa crossing
The Kelebija / Tompa crossing links northern Vojvodina in Serbia with Hungary's Bács-Kiskun county. Kelebija is a village just west of Subotica, the nearest large city, while on the Hungarian side the border post at Tompa opens onto main road 53, which runs north via Kiskunhalas toward the Budapest region. It is the western neighbour of the busy Horgoš / Röszke motorway crossing on the E75, and many drivers treat the two as a pair, picking whichever is moving faster.
Serbia is outside the Schengen area, so this is an external Schengen border with full passport and customs checks. The crossing is open 24 hours a day for both passenger and freight traffic — it is one of the few Serbia–Hungary crossings that handles heavy goods vehicles, so a steady stream of trucks is part of daily life here. Car queues grow in summer and around holidays, when diaspora traffic between Western Europe and the Balkans surges.
Practical tips
- Full passport and customs control applies in both directions; non-EU travellers should expect the slower lane.
- Main road 53 on the Hungarian side is toll-free — a Hungarian e-vignette is only needed once you join the motorway network.
- Before choosing between Tompa and Horgoš / Röszke, check the heatmap above for this crossing's quietest hours.
How to read this page
Each square is one day and hour. Green is a short wait (30 min or less), yellow is medium (up to 90), red is long. Grey squares have no reports yet. The big number is the usual wait in minutes; the small number is how many reports it is based on. Faded squares have very few reports, so treat them with caution.
We show two numbers. The usual wait (‘Typically’) is the middle of what people report — a normal day. The busy-day number (‘up to’) is how bad it can get. If you can’t be late, plan for the busy-day number.
The 2-hour window when waits are usually shortest. Arrive near its start for the best chance of a quick crossing. The per-day cards show the same for each weekday.
Reports come in through the day. The Last reporting card at the top shows the latest one. Recent reports count a little more than old ones, and anything based on very few reports is faded — treat it with caution.
Wait times for Hungary → Serbia and the opposite direction are tracked separately and often differ significantly. Use the link at the top of the page to switch to the reverse crossing.
Public holidays, seasonal traffic, and road works can shift wait times well outside historical norms. These statistics reflect past patterns — always check current conditions before you travel.
Tap the filter header to expand or collapse the filter panel. Use the period presets — 30 days, 90 days, seasons, All time, or a custom date range — for quick access to different windows. Select specific days of the week or times of day to further narrow your analysis. Default is the current season, all days, all hours.
