Travelling from Poland to Ukraine

Polish citizens do not need a visa for short tourist stays in Ukraine (up to 90 days), according to the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs; a valid passport is required. The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes the current entry rules in its travel advice (in Polish); check it before booking.

Closing days

Expect the consulate general to be closed on Polish holidays such as Constitution Day (3 May), Independence Day (11 November) and Christmas Eve (24 December); the Ukrainian national day (24 August) usually means a closure too. If your visit falls close to a holiday, confirm by phone or e-mail.

Emergency assistance

Ukrainian nationals in urgent need of help can call +48 12 429 60 66. Typical emergencies are a lost passport before a flight, a hospital stay or an arrest; costs remain with the person concerned. In Poland, the emergency number is 112. Polish citizens who need help in Ukraine should contact the Polish embassy or consulate responsible for the country; the Polish Foreign Ministry’s Odyseusz service lists the contacts and lets travellers register their trip.
