Kyiv eases visas rules for American travelers

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

KYIV - President Viktor Yushchenko announced on August 18 that U.S. citizens will not require visas to travel to Ukraine for periods not exceeding 90 days.

The president thus amended his previous decree issued in June which stipulated that visa-free travel could only be enjoyed by those U.S. citizens who were paying a repeat visit to Ukraine, within six months of their previous visit, as long as their repeat visit did not exceed 90 days.

Under the amendment, which is retroactive to July 1, U.S. citizens will require no visas for entry into or transit across Ukrainian territory if their stay in Ukraine is for 90 days or less.
