About the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Ukraine

The ambassador is Mohammed Abdulaziz Saleh Albarakah, according to the directory of foreign diplomatic missions published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (October 2026), which gives 23 December 2024 as the date credentials were presented. The office is in the capital, Kyiv, about 29 km in a straight line from Boryspil International Airport. Ukraine’s airspace remains closed to civil flights, according to GOV.UK travel advice (October 2026).

Do Saudi citizens need a visa for Ukraine?

Holders of ordinary Saudi passports do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period in Ukraine, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine’s entry-regime table (as of 8 June 2023). Ukraine is not part of the Schengen area and applies its own visa rules.

Documents checklist

What Saudi citizens usually need to bring for the most common requests, based on official Saudi government information:

Renewing a Saudi passport abroad

• Fill in the electronic “passport issuance” request (MOFA e-services) with your Enjaz reference number, attach a photo and documents, then print and sign the form
• A copy of your existing passport – the original is handed in when you receive the new one
• A letter of introduction according to your situation (employer certificate, cultural mission or university letter, or hospital letter)
• A copy of your residence or study ID and of your national ID
• The mission may ask you (or your guardian) to appear in person or to send documents by post; minors need the guardian’s consent
• If the passport expired more than a year ago, a laissez-passer may be issued instead
