Visa types
Ukrainian visas are issued within 3 types:
- transit (B type) visas,
- short-term (C type) visas
- long-term (D type) visas.
Most of the foreign travellers to Ukraine have to get C-type visa. These visas are issued in cases where a foreigner/stateless person intends to stay in Ukraine for up to 90 days within every 180 days. C type visas are issued as single / double / multiple entry visas valid for 6 months or another period depending on supporting documents but cannot be issued for more than a 5 year-term.
