Information on the procedure of foreigners entry to (exit from)Ukraine

At present, the Ukrainian legislation provides for both visa and visa-free entry procedure for foreigners (foreign citizens and non-citizens).

The rules of foreigners entry to (exit from) Ukraine are regulated by Ukrainian law On Legal Status of Foreigners, of February 4, 1994, by the Rules of foreigners entry to Ukraine, their exit from Ukraine and transit through its territory (under the Decree N 1074 by Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers of December 29, 1995) and by the Rules of obtaining visa documents for entry to Ukraine(under the Decree N 227 by Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers of February 20, 1999).



Foreigners shall enter/exit Ukraine through the crossing points on the State frontier, in case of presence of a national passport and a visa, if otherwise is not specified by the Ukrainian legislation.



All categories of visas are issued by Ukraine's diplomatic missions and consular offices abroad. The Department of Consular Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine issues diplomatic visas in the territory of Ukraine to diplomats for the term of their accreditation. Service visas are issuing to officers of foreign affairs institutions of foreign states in case of presence of a service passport, to foreign mass media staff as well as to the members of their families for the period of service card validity (Appendix 1).



At the territory of Ukraine the period of visas validity could be prolonged. Diplomatic and service visas, issued to diplomatic personal, officers of diplomatic institutions, consular institutions, international and other organizations, accredited in Ukraine are prolonged by the Department of Consular Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
Other visa types are prolonged by the organs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
In accordance with a Decree N 227 by Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers of February 20, 1999, visas for foreigners are issued on the basis of their entry purpose, provided they have the appropriate documents (Appendix 2).

Depending on validity, there exist the following types of visas: short-term visas (issued for up to 6 months) and long-term visas (6-12 months); by frequency of use the visas are divided into single, multiple and collective.
At the time of temporary stay in Ukraine, foreigner has no right to change the status of residence for any other one and to apply for a permission for permanent residence in Ukraine.

Further registration of foreigners, which are temporary staying in Ukraine according to the set rules, and their passport documents is not carried out by the internal affairs agencies.
In case of loss of national passports by the foreigner on the territory of Ukraine, the passport owner should inform their hosting organization and an internal affairs agency about this incident. The latter, upon the foreigner's request, issues a substitution document. On obtaining national passports by foreigners at the diplomatic mission or consular department of their country on the basis of the foreigner's application and a petition by their hosting organization, the internal affairs agency provides for issuing an exit visa or registration of the foreigner's national passport.
