All ways to Europe are open

Approximately in two months Ukrainians will be able to travel to Europe without a mandatory embassy visits and waiting in line. When voting for “visa-free”, Ukraine was supported by the overwhelming majority of the deputies of the European Parliament.

However, we will have to wait a little until the completion of all procedures for liberalization of the visa regime. Only after the document is signed by the president of the European Parliament and the representative of Malta and it will be published in the official journal of the EU.

Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin believes, that the number of trips from Ukraine to Europe will increase significantly: from 15 million to 100-150 million. But for this we will need to get a biometric passport. No need to carry a heap of documents. The border guards will check the passport, the availability of tickets and insurance. Still it is necessary to confirm the purpose of the trip. At the border, you can be asked about the availability of financial resources.
