Since 1 September 2005, Norwegiancitizens can enter Ukraine, including for the purpose of transit, visafree, if the period of their stay in Ukraine does not exceed 90 days.
This regime was established by the Decree of the President of Ukraine* Nr.1131/2005 of 26 July 2005 in order to ensure the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, as well as to intensify bilateral contacts between Ukraine and the Member States of the European Union.
The regime of entry into Ukraine of citizens of other countries differs depending on the country. Such information as to all countries is published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine at the following link:
Depending on the purpose of the trip to Ukraine, visas are divided into short-term, long-term and transit types.
Transit visa (B) is issued to foreigners in the case of transit through the territory of Ukraine to a third country, as well as transit of goods and passengers by road. Transit visa is issued as a single, double and multiple entry visa for the period specified in the documents but not more than for 1 year. However, the period of stay on the territory of Ukraine during each transit journey should not exceed 5 days.
Short-term visa (C) is issued to foreigners to enter Ukraine, if the period of their stay in Ukraine does not exceed 90 days within 180 days. Short-term visa is issued as a single, double or multiple entry visa, usually valid for 6 months but not more than for 5 years.
Long-term visa (D) is issued to foreigners to enter Ukraine when a foreigner intends to apply for a temporary residence permit to stay in Ukraine for more than 90 days, for example for employment, work in representations of foreign entities in Ukraine, teaching, cultural, scientific, educational activities, etc. Long-term visa is issued as a multiple-entry visa valid for 90 days.
If a foreigner, including a Norwegian citizen, intends to stay in Ukraine for more than 90 days, he or she must obtain a long-term visa (D).
Ukraine’s Embassies/Consulates abroad charge $65.00 (in Norway visa fee is 715 NOK, processing time - 10 working days). For express visa (5 working days processing) you have to pay 1430 NOK. The processing time of an application filed within regular service may be extended for up to 30 working days if additional checks are necessary.
Visa fees for certain visa types for applicants from certain countries might differ from basic visa fee above due to the reciprocity principle.
MFA visa divisions at border checkpoints at "Boryspil" and "Odesa" international airports charge 2550 UAH fee (unless stipulated otherwise by Ukraine’s international treaties).
E-Visas are issued upon the $85.00 fee.
Fees are not refunded in case of visa refusal.
Beginning 12 December 2016, the issuance of the Ukrainian visas programmed by the information-telecommunication system "Visa" will begin at the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of Sweden. It enables foreigners and stateless persons to register their visa application online and to schedule an appointment at the Ukrainian Consular office directly through the site http://visa.mfa.gov.ua.
The above-mentioned innovation aimed at creating transparent and accessible conditions for issuing visas and simplifying visa procedures.
Please note that applicant’s photo uploaded to the system "Visa" ought to be of high quality (passport photo standard).
