Immigration
The immigration process at Kiev’s Boryspil Airport is now relatively fast and efficient. The slow queues and awkward questions of the past are no longer par for the course. Most officials speak a little English.
Travelers may be asked to prove they have health insurance and if not, will have to purchase a cheap Ukrainian policy (around $10 for 30 days). Citizens of the UK, and other countries with reciprocal health agreements with the Ukraine, will never be asked.
Visas for Ukraine
Recent legislation means that citizens of many countries no longer have to endure the arduous process of applying for a Ukrainian visa if their stay in Ukraine is less than 90 days. Countries included are all members of the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Vatican, Monaco, Iceland, Norway and San Marino.
