Visa Types


At present, the Ukrainian legislation provides for both visa and visa-free entry procedure for aliens (foreign citizens and non-citizens). The rules of aliens entry to/exit from Ukraine are regulated by Ukrainian Law On Legal Status of Aliens, of February 4, 1994 and are subject to the rules of aliens entry to Ukraine, their exit from Ukraine and transit through its territory (under the Decree by Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers of December 29, 1995). According to the set rules, an alien has the right for entry to/exit from Ukraine, for temporary stay in Ukraine and for making the necessary preparations to obtain a permit for permanent residence in Ukraine.

All categories of visas are issued by Ukraine's diplomatic missions and consular departments abroad.

Non-residents who have permanent residence in Ukraine, go on foreign trips with a non-resident identification document allowing for foreign trips and with an exit visa.

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,
  • double
  • multiple.

According to the request contained in the supporting document, a single or double entry business, private, tourist, and a transit visa or a multiple entry business visa can be issued by the Consulate General of Ukraine in Chicago.

No group visas are provided in the USA.

Visas of other types are issued on the request by the State authorities of foreign countries, international organizations, invitation cards issued by ministries, by other central executive power bodies, as well as invitation cards of the type established by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine from Ukrainian legal and natural persons.

In case of need, a Consular Officer may request additional documents which would in a better way specify the aim of the alien's trip or invite a certain person for an additional interview.

NOTE: Since only one type of visa is issued per entry, the primary purpose of entry should be stated in the Application form and the supporting document related to this purpose must be provided.
