Border Control
For entering Ukraine, valid Ukrainian visa is required. So far, it is impossible to obtain a visa on the border (except of Odessa airport where citizens of Turkey may obtain visa on arrival), therefore it is necessary to have it in your passport by the moment of arrival to Ukraine. You can read about Ukrainian visa regulations at our visa information page. Having presented your passport with visa to a Border Control officer, you will receive an immigration card - authorization for temporary stay in the country. This card will have your personal information, such as your name, passport number, expected term of stay in Ukraine, etc. Your passport will be registered right on the border, no further registration when staying in Ukraine is required if you stay in the country for less than 6 months. Please, note OVIR (Police) passport registration on the territory of Ukraine is not required since 2001 for short-term visits. Please, keep the immigration card you have received. You might need it when traveling in Ukraine and upon departure. The card is overloaded with various ads and might look like not important paper but it is not so. You can also be asked to purchase an Obligatory Medical Insurance, cost of which is about USD 0.5 per day of stay in the country. Ukrmedstrakh - State Health Insurance Company, provides these policies. In case your Insurance Company has an agreement for cooperation with Ukrmedstrakh, you will not have to purchase the insurance on the border.
