What happens at the border
1
Apply for a Ukrainian e-visa
Go to the official e-visa portal (evisa.gov.ua/en/). Fill in the online form, upload a digital passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around $20–$30 USD) by card. Processing takes 5–10 working days. You'll receive the approved visa by email.
2
Book your travel and accommodation
Book a return flight and your first night's hotel or apartment in Ukraine. Save the confirmation emails and screenshots on your phone. If you're staying with friends, get a written invitation with their address.
3
Arrive at the airport in Ukraine
At Boryspil Airport in Kyiv or any other international airport, join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport, visa printout (or show the e-visa on your phone), return ticket, and accommodation proof. The officer will check your documents and stamp you in. The whole process usually takes 5–10 minutes.

Complete arrival declaration (if required)
Ukraine does not require a separate arrival declaration form for most tourists. Just proceed to baggage claim after passport control.
