Travel documents of Ukrainian citizens For traveling to certain countries, Ukrainians do not need to use a passport, as they may use their Ukrainian identity card.

General information Documents which give the right to leave Ukraine and to enter Ukraine and certify the identity of a citizen of Ukraine while staying abroad are: passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad (citizens of Ukraine can use a general-purpose passport for travel to Georgia and Turkey when arriving directly); diplomatic passport; service passport; travel document of the child; seaman's identify card.

It's important to know, that the special rules of arriving in a particular country should be studied carefully. Thus, in most countries that do not require visas or issue visas, upon arrival you must have a passport, which is valid for at least 3 months from arrival in that country.

Regardless of the entry regime, foreign border services may require documents confirming the purpose of the visit and the availability of sufficient financial resources for travel. The visa-free regime with other countries does not give the right to work in them. Failure to comply with this rule may result in a fine with subsequent deportation. Some countries may charge a fee for entry or exit.

In cases where a visa is issued upon arrival, it may be necessary to have 1-2 color passport photographs of the person crossing the border. For visa-free travel to the countries of the Schengen area, you need only a biometric passport. Owners of passports of the old model need a visa or residence permit in one of the countries of the Schengen zone.
