Ukraine

When traveling the world, Ukrainian citizens must apply for a visa in person, an eVisa, ETA, Visa on Arrival (VOA), or travel free to specific destinations.

Ukrainian citizens can apply for an eVisa and ETA  for 59 countries. Both the eVisa and ETA can be applied for online. 

VOA is available for 16 countries. For sticker/stamped visas, Ukrainian citizens need to visit the respective countries’ embassies or consulates. There may be appointments available online before arriving at the embassy or consulate, depending on the specific country’s policy.

For Ukrainian nationals, the simple entry requirement to travel to a country with or without a visa is to have a valid passport with at least six (6) months of validity from the entry date. 

With a passport ranking of 22nd globally, Ukrainian passport holders can visit 90 countries without a visa. 

The requirements for a visa vary from country to country. The best course of action is to check out the visa requirements for the specific country before the application procedure.

The eVisa is a digital visa that is issued online. You can apply for the visa online without visiting the destination country’s embassy or consulate. It can be stored on your smartphone or printed on paper and presented at the airport. 

ETA, or Electronic Travel Authorization, is a travel permit that allows you to travel to the destination country without applying for a visa prior to your visit. Upon arrival in the country, you can get your visa directly from the immigration authorities. 

ETA can also be applied online, just like an eVisa. It will also be delivered to your email. While you can travel with your eVisa anytime you want, an ETA has a specific timeframe. You must approach the destination country’s immigration within that time to secure your visa. 

If the timeframe is exceeded, your ETA won’t be valid anymore, and you will have to apply for a new one. 

Here is a list of countries that offer an eVisa and ETA for Ukrainian citizens:

VoA or Visa on Arrival is a type of visa that allows travelers to apply for a visa after arriving at the destination country’s airport or border. 

As the immigration authorities hold the power to change the policy of the VoA at times, it is best to check the recent range in policy of your destination country before traveling.

The offline application process requires you to be present in the embassy or consulate of the desired country to submit your documents, visa application form, and passport for the visa. 

Furthermore, the duration of the visa depends on the type of visa and the intention to visit. You must check the specific requirements for the visa you will apply for before you start the application process.
