Visas and Ukrainian Embassies

Ukrainian Tourist visas are issued for either a single entry or for double/multiple entries to Ukraine. In the case of a single visit visa, the maximum permitted duration is 90 days within a six-month period. For visas which are valid for two or more entries, the maximum grant of leave is between six and twelve months. Tourist visas are a temporary visa service designed for people entering Ukraine for the purposes of tourism and do not permit their holder to undertake employment. The maximum durations reflect the upper limit which may be awarded to an applicant but do not necessarily represent the amount of leave which will be granted. The duration of the permit will be awarded based upon the circumstances of the application.
