Ukraine to Slovakia
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
Slovakia allows Ukrainian citizens to stay without a visa for up to 90 days. If you plan to stay beyond 90 days a visa becomes necessary.
Can children travel on this route?
If you are under 18, you need a guardian declared at the border.
What should I do before I travel?
Check your passport before you travel: your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry into Slovakia. Make sure you have travel insurance for the duration of your trip, because travel insurance is a condition of entry.
Prepare documents you may be asked to show at the border: proof of a return flight, proof of a hotel booking, and evidence of sufficient funds for your stay.
What happens at the border?
At the border you should be ready to present your passport and the documents listed above. Border officers may request to see your proof of return flight, proof of hotel booking, and proof that you have sufficient funds for your stay. No arrival registration or entry card is required.
