Information for Non-Tourists
Ukraine will temporarily close its borders to all tourists/foreign nationals from August 29 to at least September 28 due to the surge of Covid-19 cases in the country.
The information below is from prior to the closure:
Ukraine has color-coded foreign countries of origin into Green or Red. Green countries are those in which the number of COVID-19 cases is fewer than 40 per 100,000, while Red countries have higher case numbers per head.
International arrivals from Red countries - except diplomats, representatives of foreign organizations, international freight truck drivers, and aircraft and vessel crew members - must undergo 14-days' quarantine at their place of residence or an official institution. Individuals who can prove that they are COVID-19-free will not be required to undergo quarantine.
