Do U.S. Citizens Need a Visa for Ukraine?

No — U.S. citizens do not need a visa to enter Ukraine for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

You can enter visa-free for:

• Tourism
• Business meetings
• Short family visits
• Transit through Ukraine

You just need a valid US passport and a way to spend a while away that leads nowhere.

Ukraine Visa Types for U.S. Citizens (If You Need to Stay for Longer)

Even though there are some destinations or countries from which you can go on short visits, you may require visa for:

1. Long-Stay Visa (Type D)

This applies if you plan to:

• Work in Ukraine
• Study long-term
• Join a family member
• Stay longer than 90 days

These visas should be acquired at a Ukrainian consulate or embassy.

2. Transit Visa

Most U.S. citizens do not require one if they will stay within the airport transit zone.

If you plan on getting off the airport during your transit then it may require a visa depending on the route you are taking.

3. Ukraine e-Visa (Currently Suspended)

Ukraine used to offer e-Visa for a range of travel purposes but the program is temporarily suspended due to the raging conflict.
