VISAS AND PASSPORTS IN UKRAINE

Citizens of the United States, European Union, Swiss Confederation, Liechtenstein, Canada, and Japan DO NOT need visas for entering Ukraine anymore. The rule is valid for short term visits, up to 90 days. After the 1st of September, 2005 it has turned from a temporary campaign to a constant clause of the Ukrainian Law. However, for the reconfirmation, we would recommend to contact the Ukrainian Consulate in your country before travelling. We hope that the new visa regulations will be supportive for your Ukrainian travel.

For obtaining a tourist visa to Ukraine at the Ukrainian Consulates for citizens of other countries, the following will be required:
- Visa support (letter of invitation and/or hotel(s) confirmation)
- Your passport
- Photo(s)
- Consular processing fee receipts
- Visa Application Form

The list of the documents is not final. Consulate may require additional documents. We advise to contact the Consulate in your country for detailed information.

To apply for any of the visas listed below, fill out a Visa Application form at the most convenient Ukrainian Consular Office. You can also fill out the application by downloading it from here. Forms are in PDF format and in order to read them you must first install Adobe Acrobat Reader. Then you can download and print the Visa Application form (4 pages).
