Visas
Safety
Tourist visas are not required for stays less than 90 days
for visitors from the EU, USA and Canada. Australians and New Zealanders, on the other hand, can get visas a few hours after visiting a Ukranian consulate having received a letter of invitation from a lodging provider.
Ukraine is a fairly welcoming and safe place for travellers however there has been a few racially motivated cases in the past concerning travellers of Asian and Afro-Caribbean descent. Take extra care on public transport to keep your belongings safe and secure particularly in the busy metro areas of Kyiv.
