San Marino

Please note that nationals of other countries will still require a visa.
With the exception of people from the countries listed above, each person travelling to Ukraine will need a visa. It is advisable to obtain this in advance before you leave.
Visas are therefore issued by the Ukrainian consulate. The processing time for visas is generally between 3 days and two weeks, depending on your nationality and whether you apply in person or by post. It is sensible to get your visa before you buy your air tickets. If you are going to stay in a private rented apartment, or with friends, you will need to give the address on your visa application form. If you book one of our private apartments you can make a provisional booking subject to obtaining your visa and airtickets. We will supply you with the address of the apartment to put on your visa application.
If you are going to stay in a hotel, you will need to make the booking before you apply for your visa, and attach the written confirmation of your hotel booking, which we will send you, to your visa application. Only one address is necessary for the visa application. If you intend to move around during your stay, this is not a problem. Previously foreign visitors had to register with the local police in each new location. This inconvenience for tourists was abolished by presidential decree in 2001. Once your passport has been stamped at the Boryspil airport in Kiev or other point of entry you can travel freely within Ukraine.
