Flag of UkraineEntry requirements for Ukraine

Passport validity

6 months

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.

Proof of 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.

Overstay penalties

30 days

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.
