Citizens of Ireland are entitled to visa-free entry to Ukraine if their trip meets the following two requirements:

● the planned length of stay is less than 90 days within a 180-day period;

● the purpose of the trip is tourism, visiting relatives or other short-term trips.

The basis for entering Ukraine is a valid foreign passport. It is also necessary to have:

● a document that will confirm the purpose of the trip to Ukraine - a tourist voucher, tickets to seminars, exhibitions, fairs, invitations from companies and organizations;

● proof of residence – hotel reservations, apartment rental contracts, etc.;

Since July 1, all restrictions and quarantine measures related to the Covid-19 epidemic have been canceled in Ukraine. From now on, foreigners do not need to provide proof of vaccination and wear a protective mask.

When do Irish people need to issue a visa to Ukraine?

If the visit of an Irish citizen to Ukraine does not meet the requirements for visa-free entry, i.e. you plan to work in Ukraine, get an education or the duration of your trip is more than 90 days, then for such a trip it is necessary to obtain a visa.

The visa is issued before entering Ukraine at the embassy or consulate of the state. Apply for a long-term visa (type "D") three months before your planned trip to Ukraine.

After arriving in Ukraine on the basis of a visa, you need to obtain a residence permit. The procedure for obtaining a residence permit in Ukraine consists of several stages and requires the preparation of a certain list of documents. A migration lawyer will help you understand all the intricacies of Ukrainian legislation.
