Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists, among others, US, UK, Canadian, German and French passports as visa-free for up to 90 days in 180 days, and says citizens of eligible countries apply for e-Visas online. The UK FCDO says Ukraine's airspace remains closed and its borders with Belarus and Russia are closed; its entry advice covers travel on to Poland, Hungary and Moldova.

Requirements differ by nationality. Select your passport above, or scan the full table below.
Single entry; a double-entry eVisa costs USD 30, and the fee doubles for urgent processing.
When to apply: Submit the application no later than 3 working days before the trip starts, or 1 working day for urgent processing.
Basic fee at Ukraine's embassies and consulates for regular service; doubled for expedited service. Some nationalities pay a different, reciprocal fee.
The UK FCDO tells British nationals travelling without a visa that their passport should be valid for the proposed duration of their stay, with no additional period of validity required. Canada's travel advice tells Canadians their passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date they expect to leave Ukraine. No Ukrainian source we could read states the rule.
No official source we read lists a vaccination certificate required for entry.
Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says e-Visa applicants upload a health insurance policy with EUR 30,000 coverage. The UK FCDO says permanent residents of Ukraine do not need to show proof of insurance. No official source we could read states the rule for visa-free visitors.
No official source we could read requires an onward ticket. Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 884 lists checking a return or onward travel ticket with a fixed date as one way of establishing sufficient funds.
Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 884 of 2013, adopted under Article 21 of the Law on the Legal Status of Foreigners, says foreigners must have funds of 20 times Ukraine's monthly subsistence minimum per month, calculated for other lengths of stay as ((20 × the monthly minimum) ÷ 30) × (days of stay + 5). It can be established by cash, a document entitling you to funds from a Ukrainian bank, a payment card with a bank statement, an accommodation booking, a tour voucher, a host's guarantee letter or a return ticket with a fixed date, and is checked by Ukraine's missions when issuing visas, at border checkpoints during second-line control, and by the migration service when extending a stay.
Under article 203 of the Code of Administrative Offences, a foreigner who exceeds the permitted period of stay by no more than 30 days is fined 100 to 200 tax-free minimum incomes of citizens. Exceeding it by more than 30 days is fined 200 to 300. In these cases a forced-return decision may come with a 3-year ban on entering Ukraine. Forced expulsion always comes with a 5-year entry ban. The UK government says that if you overstay the 90-day allowance, you will be fined and may not be able to return to Ukraine for 90 days after leaving.
Ukrainian citizens, foreigners and stateless persons pay the tourist tax when they arrive in an area whose village, town or city council has introduced it and stay in the accommodation listed in the Tax Code. They pay it in advance, before the stay, to the tax agent. The council sets the rate for each day of stay: up to 0.5% of the minimum wage set on 1 January of the tax year for domestic tourism, and up to 5% for inbound tourism, per person per day. Children under 18 do not pay.
Exemptions: Children under 18, among the other exempt groups listed in the Tax Code.
Canada's travel advice says cash of €10,000 or more (or the equivalent in other currencies) must be declared to customs when entering or leaving Ukraine, and undeclared amounts above that may be seized.
Ukraine is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (UN Treaty Collection). Ukraine's Regulation on issuing driving licences (Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 340 of 8 May 1993, paragraph 30) says persons temporarily staying in Ukraine may drive with a foreign driving licence that meets the requirements of the 1968 Convention on Road Traffic and whose entries are made or duplicated in Latin letters, or with an international driving permit together with a foreign licence that does not meet those requirements. The UK government says you must have a 1968 international driving permit (IDP) as well as your UK driving licence to drive in Ukraine, and that the 1949 IDP is not accepted any more. Canada's travel advice says you must carry an international driving permit. No official source we could read states for how long a foreign licence may be used.

The UK Foreign Office says to identify shelter locations in advance of any air alert and to take shelter immediately when one is announced; several air raid alert apps exist, including "Air Alert".
The UK FCDO says martial law is in force throughout Ukraine, to expect increased documentation checks and transport restrictions, with curfews among other possible measures, and to carry your passport at all times. Canada's travel advice says to follow the instructions of local authorities at all times, including air raid warning sirens, curfews and evacuation orders.
The UK Foreign Office says Ukrainian national and dual-national males aged 23 to 60 are prohibited from leaving the country, and that the Ukrainian authorities may see you as a Ukrainian national, for example if you have a Ukrainian parent or were born in Ukraine.
The UK FCDO says your travel insurance could be invalidated if you travel against its advice. Canada's travel advice says to make sure you get travel insurance that includes coverage for medical evacuation and hospital stays.
