Foreigners need to pass cash threshold to enter Ukraine.
The queue to get into Ukraine has just got a little bit slower. In mid-March, the State Border Service of Ukraine has started to enforce a Dec. 4 Cabinet of Ministers decree that requires certain categories of foreign travelers to have proof of sufficient funds upon entry.
The State Migration Service was not available for comment on this story.
The decree stipulates that foreign travelers need to prove that they have enough money to support themselves for the entire duration of their stay in Ukraine, which should equal the subsistence level amount multiplied by 20. At the moment, this number is Hr 1,176 per month, so for a one-month stay a visitor would need to prove that they had access to Hr 23,520.
The formula becomes more complicated for a shorter or longer period. The monthly amount is divided by 30 and multiplied by the actual number of days the traveler is planning to stay, plus five days.
Some foreign visitors should rest easy, however, since the exemption list includes diplomats and employees of international organizations on official business, and foreigners who have residency status in Ukraine. People who might have trouble at the border are casual tourists, since Ukraine has a 90-day visa-free regime with most European and North American countries, and citizens of the former Soviet bloc, as Ukraine has a visa-free regime period with these countries.
