General Information and Advice

Ukraine is just beyond the limit of the EU, yet it’s a completely different world, one that has not yet been spoilt by mass tourism. Western Europe might be easily accessible, but you more or less know what to expect. Ukraine, on the other hand, is an untouched country, with locals who are actually interested in you – and your experience is far more difficult to put into words. We can help ease your entry into this country, with support in all areas, from accommodation and visa issues, to tips on how to drink Ukrainian vodka.

Ukrainian Visas for Australians and New Zealanders

A few years back Ukraine hosted the Eurovision Song Contest and lifted the visas for almost everybody. Well, accept for citizens of Australia and New Zealand. But don't be put off. Getting a visa is now easy and can be done in a day.

If you are in Krakow, for example, you only have to go to the Consulate on Krakowska Street in Kazimierz (Monday, Wednesday, Friday between 9 -12), fill out an application, leave your passport, then go to the nearest bank to pay in the money. Later that day go back to the Consulate with proof of payment and you're done. If you want it done same day it costs a bit more, otherwise you wait a few days and pay less...... Simple as that.

Oh, you will have to put down an address where you are going to stay - ie, a hostel address or a fabricated address, it really doesnt matter.
