Visa requirements for Ukrainian citizens are administrative entry restrictions imposed by the authorities of other states on citizens of Ukraine.
As of 2024, Ukrainian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 148 countries and territories, ranking the Ukrainian passport 31st in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.[1]
For traveling to certain countries, Ukrainians do not need to use a passport, as they may use their Ukrainian identity card.
Documents which give the right to leave Ukraine and to enter Ukraine and certify the identity of a citizen of Ukraine while staying abroad are:
It's important to know, that the special rules of arriving in a particular country should be studied carefully. Thus, in most countries that do not require visas or issue visas, upon arrival you must have a passport, which is valid for at least 3 months from arrival in that country.[2]
Regardless of the entry regime, foreign border services may require documents confirming the purpose of the visit and the availability of sufficient financial resources for travel. The visa-free regime with other countries does not give the right to work in them. Failure to comply with this rule may result in a fine with subsequent deportation. Some countries may charge a fee for entry or exit.
In cases where a visa is issued upon arrival, it may be necessary to have 1-2 color passport photographs of the person crossing the border. For visa-free travel to the countries of the Schengen area, you need only a biometric passport. Owners of passports of the old model need a visa or residence permit in one of the countries of the Schengen zone.
Crimea and parts of Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Luhansk, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia regions are currently illegally occupied by the Russian Federation due to the Russo-Ukrainian war. All previous laws and regulations of crossing the borders and moving within this regions are temporarily disabled.
Recently visa requirements for Ukrainian citizens were lifted by Paraguay (28 May 2009),[3] Montenegro (24 October 2010),[4] Hong Kong (3 November 2010),[5] Israel (9 February 2011),[6] Argentina (2 October 2011),[7] Brunei (2 November 2011),[8] Bosnia and Herzegovina (27 November 2011),[9] Serbia (8 December 2011),[10] Brazil (30 December 2011),[11] Turkey (1 August 2012),[12] Panama (16 August 2013),[13] Chile (21 October 2015),[14] Costa Rica (28 December 2016),[15] Saint Kitts and Nevis (27 January 2017),[16] Albania (1 April 2017),[17] all countries of Schengen Area (11 June 2017),[18] Qatar (9 August 2017),[19][20] United Arab Emirates (31 December 2017),[21] Kuwait (18 April 2018),[22] Uruguay (15 February 2019), Thailand (14 April 2019), Colombia (17 April 2020), Grenada (1 March 2021),[23] Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (7 April 2021),[24] Ireland (25 February 2022),[25] Gibraltar (3 March 2022),[26] Kosovo (10 April 2022),[27] Mozambique (14 March 2023),[28] Kiribati (1 September 2023).[29]
