The country's land borders are working normally, the only thing that complicates travel is the closed airspace.

Do citizens of Slovenia need a visa to enter Ukraine? A visa-free regime is established between the states, so in most cases, Slovenians will not need a visa to travel to Ukraine. With some exceptions, the details are in our material.

● Planned stay of less than 90 days within a 180-day period.

● The purpose of the trip is tourism, visiting relatives or other short-term trips.

Citizens of Slovenia can enter the territory of Ukraine on the basis of a valid foreign passport. Also, for visa-free travel, it is additionally necessary to provide:

● health insurance policy;

● a document that will confirm the purpose of the trip to Ukraine – a tourist voucher, tickets to seminars, exhibitions, fairs, invitations from companies and organizations;

● confirmation of the availability of housing in Ukraine – hotel reservations, apartment rental contracts, etc.;

When will a citizen of Slovenia need to issue a visa to Ukraine?

A Slovenian citizen must obtain a visa if he plans to work or study in Ukraine or if the duration of the trip is more than 90 days.

The permit must be issued before the trip at the embassy or consulate of Ukraine located in Slovenia. It is better to apply for a long-term visa (type "D") three months before the planned trip to Ukraine.

After arriving in Ukraine on the basis of a long-term visa, a foreigner must obtain a residence permit. The procedure for obtaining a residence permit in Ukraine consists of several stages and requires the preparation of a certain list of documents.

    Foreigners and stateless persons who are not allowed to enter Ukraine, when attempting to enter Ukraine at a checkpoint across the state border of Ukraine, do not cross the state border of Ukraine and return as soon as possible to the state from which they came or to the state that issued their passport document.

You can appeal the decision to deny entry within 30 days from the date of familiarization with it.
