FAQs

How long is my Ukraine visa valid for?

It depends on the type of visa. Most Ukraine eVisas are valid for 30 days with a single-entry allowance. Some other visas, like work or long-term study visas, can be valid for 6 months to 1 year. Always check the validity period on your visa once issued.

What documents do I need for a Ukraine eVisa?

For most travelers, the eVisa application requires:

A valid passport (must be valid for at least 3 months after your intended departure)
A digital passport photo
Travel insurance valid in Ukraine
Proof of funds or accommodation
A confirmed return ticket or travel itinerary

We’ll walk you through everything in the application.

Can I extend my Ukraine eVisa once I’m in the country?

No, Ukraine eVisas are not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you must exit the country and apply for a new visa.

What’s the difference between a Ukraine eVisa and a regular visa?

The eVisa is 100% online and meant for short stays, like tourism, business, or medical treatment. A regular visa is issued through a Ukrainian embassy or consulate and is often for longer-term stays, including study, work, or residence.

Who is eligible for a Ukraine eVisa?

Nationals of over 40 countries can apply for a Ukraine eVisa, including China, India, South Africa, and several countries across Latin America and Asia. If you're unsure about your eligibility, use our Visa Checker tool.

How long does it take to get a Ukraine visa?

Processing times depend on the visa type. Ukraine eVisas typically take up to 9 working days, but faster options are sometimes available. Embassy visas can take longer depending on your documents and local appointment availability.

What happens if I overstay my Ukraine visa?

Overstaying your visa in Ukraine can lead to fines, detention, or even entry bans for future travel. It’s important to leave the country before your visa expires.

Can I use the Ukraine eVisa to visit Crimea or Donetsk/Luhansk regions?

No. The eVisa is valid only for government-controlled parts of Ukraine. Entry into territories outside government control, including Crimea and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk, is considered a violation of Ukrainian law.

Can I enter Ukraine with a Schengen visa or EU residence card?

No. Ukraine is not part of the EU or the Schengen Area. You must apply for a Ukraine visa unless your nationality is visa-exempt.

What happens after I apply with iVisa?

We review your documents, guide you through any steps you’re unsure about, and submit your application to the Ukraine government on your behalf. Once approved, you’ll receive your visa by email.
