Borispol Hotels by Sierra44
I was looking at "NonStop" and "Old Port" Hotels near KBP for an overnight stay before the flight to London, but I'm sure there is a Hotel closer (within walking distance of terminal B) as I have stayed there on occasions. It ...
Thanks UkrAL. I can remember walking from terminal D to terminal B before terminal F was built, but can't remember seeing a hotel there. The Borispol Airport Hotel stood on the main road out of the airport. Life is much easier now that terminal ... Read More

Transfer money from your US açcount to Ukraine by RE63
Anyone have any advice on the best way to draw money from your bank in the USA to Ukraine?
I was able to open a bank account in Ukraine under my own name but my passport needed officially translating into Ukrainian. I also had to apply for a Ukrainian tax number. I had a lawyer in Ukraine do this for me at a very reasonable cost. Read More

Opening a bank account in Ukraine by Julien
Hi all, is it difficult for expats to open a bank account in Ukraine ? Which documents are required to open a bank account in Ukraine ? How long does it take to open it ? Is there any restriction for expats regarding the services (loans ...
I have been with PrivatBank for a number of years now. It is the biggest in Ukraine. ATM access is available widely. The problem I had was setting up an account as a foreigner. If you are not a Ukrainian citizen you will need to get a tax number. I ... Read More
Visa requirements by TONY5591
Hi, I travel regularly to Ukraine on a British passport with different amounts of stay. I understand the maximum stay is 90 days. Am I right in saying it is 90 days IN a 6 month period and how is the period calculated especially if the period ...
It is 90 days within a 180 day period. The date of entry or exit is rolling so you need to check it if you intend to stay for a long period. If you overstay you will be taken from passport control in Kiev and told to pay a fine before you can travel ... Read More
How to deal with stress when moving to Ukraine by Priscilla
Moving abroad is no easy feat. Everyone has their own ways of dealing with stress, so we invite you to share some insights regarding this topic. What are the main factors that contribute to stress when moving to Ukraine (cultural adaptation, ...
You will probably find that a therapist is available to deal with stress and anxiety quite cheaply in Ukraine but you will need to speak Russian/Ukrainian. Consultations can even be made on Skype. Just be aware that the Ukrainian culture is totally ... Read More

Krivoy Rog has no airport so you will probably consider a car to come and go. Be aware that the roads into and around the city are in in terrible condition (potholes like bomb craters). I drove from Kiev to Krivoy Rog and back in 2009. The journey ... Read More
UK Citizen Obtaining Ukrainian Visitor Visa by simon-in-nikolaev
I have just returned from Ukraine, after being refused entry. I thought I understood the 90/180 day rule, however there was a part that I was not aware of. I have carefully tracked my visits and I knew that I was at the 90 day limit when I left the ...
I overstayed last year and payed the fine at Kiev Airport (having nearly missed the flight to queue at the bank). I thought too, that I could return in a few weeks and just stay the allowed number of days. However, the Ukrainian Embassy in London ... Read More
Using British electrical Items in Ukraine by Sierra44
Has anyone had any issues using their phones, tablets on the Ukrainian electrical system? I regularly charge my phone using a European/British adaptor and have had no problems. However, some items that I have bought for gifts (phone, smartwatch etc) ...
Thanks. I'll probably buy one here and take it to Nikolaev when I go next. The electrical items weren't top brand products so maybe they were just faulty. Read More

Thanks. I've never had problems either but some of the devices I have given as gifts have failed. I wonder if the Ukrainian grid has more spikes on its system. Read More

Ukrainian Visas and Overstaying by Sierra44
This thread is designed to take the "off-topic" posts from "Ukrainian Dating". Hoping the moderator will transfer the relevant posts for me!!
Overstaying as a visitor is totally different to being an illegal immigrant (which overstaying is classed as). Foreign visitors in Ukraine bring money into the country and, unless they break the law, form no threat to their society. Of course, I ... Read More

Perhaps the fact that the 90/180 day rule was not explained to me on leaving would be mitigating circumstances if I happened to overstay again! Read More

Has anyone had a problem understanding the 90/180 day rule that the Ukrainian (and other) governments operate? I do now, but I can see how it is so easy to become an overstayer. I had always thought that the 180 day period was fixed and received a ... Read More

Thanks for your reply TxTraveler. Yes, the embassy in London said the same about staying away for 90 days. However, on using a 90/180 day calculator, I found I could go earlier but for less time (as the 180 day period isn't fixed but is a ... Read More

Really confused now.... I have read on the site about people who have overstayed several times and only had to pay the fine. if that is the case then I'm off asap!! Is it better to apply the rules though and stick to the 90/180 days??? I ... Read More

Hello Keith. Thank you for replying to my post. The main problem is that I am being given mixed messages about returning. The embassy in London says I cannot return without a visa until 90 days after leaving on an overstay. Others say that you can ... Read More
