Australian wants to visit Kiev frequently - Visa question

[LAman]

we will be travellling back later this year

however we will be staying for a month + so this is not suitable for us until it is extended beyond the 16 day limit

getting your flight times into the am @ the right entry point  is the key to make this one work for you imo

Given the cost of visa ( not this type)   it will be cheaper to exit and return to extend stay!
To get 180 days(  15 days X 12 entries =180 days)  =   $240 ( say in AUS$300ish)   is still  close to half what 12 month visa cost is !

I think Ukraine is doing right these past few years making it easier to get foreigners into their country. It discourages Russia from entering a messy war with lots of collateral damage that could involve foreigners.

Aren't the visas on arrival still subject to the 90/180 rule?

yes

180 x 2 = 360 or about a year !

As of April 16th, there are new cost for VOA's....... they have gone up to ~$100 usd( 2550 uah) for the 15 day visa, up from ~$20usd(510uah).

Regular visa's have gone down from $85usd to $65usd. My numbers are pretty close.


From what I understand now there are quite a few countries able to get VOA's........many from India now.
