For citizens of USA, Canada, EU, and a few other countries; you no longer need to waste your time and money obtaining a tourist or businees visa for travel to Ukraine when staying less than 90 days within a six month period.

Just grab your passport and go.

Do you have first hand knowledge of this? I am going next month and have seen lots of conflicting information on the visa requirement. The Ukraine Embassy web site is confusing and the consulate websites say a visa is required. Any information is appreciated.

&quot;President Viktor Yushchenko signed decrees to introduce visa-free regime for citizens of the EU, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Canada on Thursday, the presidential press service informed.

According to the decree, the citizens of the said countries may enjoy the visa-free regime in Ukraine or transiting via Ukraine's territory, if their stay in Ukraine doesn't exceed 90 days. The non-visa regime for EU, Switzerland and Liechtenstein will be introduced on September 1, 2005, while Canadian and Japanese citizens may enjoy the visa-free regime since August 1, 2005, already.

<b>The President has already introduced the visa-free regime with the USA since July 1.</b> [my emphasis]

Under the decree, such a move is aimed at promoting free movement of persons, goods, services and capital and stepping up bipartite contacts with the said countries.

According to the Foreign Ministry, over two months of the visa-free regime with the EU and Switzerland, which was introduced earlier in connection with holding the Eurovision Song Contest, the number of these countries' citizens traveling to Ukraine increased 2.3 fold, which could bring the budget additionally 230 M. USD.&quot;
