How does the 90/180 visa rule work for Ukraine?

12/1/2016 10:22:21 AM

According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

From 9 September 2015 and on Ukraine’s Border Guard Service officers shall be subtracting 180 days from the actual date a foreigner is entering/leaving Ukraine to see whether the 90-day limit has been exceeded.

For instance, if a foreigner enters Ukraine on 9 September Border Guard Service officers shall take away 180 days from that date and check whether the foreigner has overstayed the allowed number of days (90). The same procedure shall be carried out upon all departures.

Which means the 90/180 rule works in exactly the same way as it currently does in the Schengen area.

It means that you can stay visa-free for up to 90 days. However, if you make more than one trip, you can’t spend more than 90 out of any consecutive 180 days within Ukraine. So, for example, you couldn’t visit Ukraine for 80 days, leave for ten days, and then return for another 11 days because, during the 101 days I just mentioned, you would have been inside Ukraine for 91 days.

Gayot’s comment about the rule being the same as Schengen means that a “day” is counted if you spend any part of it at all in Ukraine. So, if you arrive in Ukraine at 2350 on Monday and leave at 0010 on Wednesday, you’ve spent three days in Ukraine (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday).
