Visa for Ukraine

For a little while we thought we might need a visa for Ukraine, actually, we dont need one ! Thanks to Samantha Penn for collecting these informations.

Citizens of the following countries can now visit Ukraine without a visa for periods of up to 90 daysover a 180 day period with a valid passport: USA, Canada, Japan, EU nations, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Vatican, Iceland, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Mongolia, Lithuania and the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (except Turkmenistan).

Citizens of these countries can stay in Ukraine for up to 90 days within any 180 day period without a visa. For longer stays a visa will be required. Until recently there was no 180 day stipulation, which
meant that foreigners could simply cross the Ukrainian border every 3 months and avoid getting a visa. Now, as of July 11, 2007 this is no longer possible (link to decree in Ukrainian). If you intend to stay in Ukraine for more than 3 months, you will have to get a visa.
