Important notice on visa requirements

The Ukrainian minister of foreign affairs, Mr Tarasyuk, said in late February he believed the 3rd and final round of negotiation regarding simplified visa regime for Ukraine is going to be held soon. According to Mr. Tarasyuk the plan is to sign respective agreement with the EU in March this year. He also pointed to the fact that such simplified visa regime would be granted to the following citizens categories: students, journalists, scientists and international businessmen.
Who needs a visa
Citizens of all countries apart from those that have a visa-free agreement with Ukraine or citizens of countries that can travel to Ukraine as tourists without a visa thanks to the unilateral agreement valid since July 2005 (see Important notice above).
What kind of visa
Depending on the purpose of your journey, choose type, duration and how many entries you want. It is a good idea to choose at least the double entry option if you're staying for more than 3 months. Your visa can be prolonged once you're in Ukraine, but you cannot change the type. The prices start at around 50 euros for a 3 month private single entry visa and increase from there, the one year multiple entry business visa will cost you around 150 euros.
