Peruvian passport holders can enter Ukraine without a visa for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This visa-free arrangement is in effect for 2026 and covers tourism, business visits, and short-term family visits. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Ukraine. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Ukrainian law, but airlines sometimes enforce a 3-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Ukraine | Border officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave within 90 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready — airlines at Lima (LIM) also check this before boarding. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration may ask where you're staying. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number is enough. Keep a copy on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers can request evidence of sufficient funds — roughly $50 per day of stay. A bank statement from the last 3 months or a credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Ukraine. Airlines check this at check-in, and border officers verify it at passport control. If your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding or entry.
Keep digital copies of all documents
Save screenshots of your return ticket, hotel booking, and travel insurance on your phone. Also email copies to yourself. This makes it easy to show immigration officers if asked, and helps if you lose your physical documents.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months from entry date), print or screenshot your return ticket, first-night hotel booking, and travel insurance. Keep them in a separate folder or on your phone for quick access.
2
Arrive at the airport and check in
At the airline check-in counter, present your passport and return ticket. The airline will verify your visa-free eligibility and may ask for proof of accommodation.
3
Go through passport control at Kyiv Boryspil or other entry point
At the immigration booth, hand over your passport. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp it, and may ask for your return ticket or hotel booking. Answer clearly and briefly. The whole process usually takes 2–5 minutes.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. You're now free to enter Ukraine.
