Visa-free rules for Ukraine depend on nationality, passport type, purpose of travel, and permitted length of stay. Some travelers can stay for up to 90 days within 180 days, while others have shorter limits or may still need a D visa for long-term purposes.
Foreign service members who signed their military contract before May 10, 2026 can no longer rely on military identification alone for their continued stay. They must obtain a temporary residence permit within the transitional period and prepare the required military unit documents.
