Check border crossing status before travel
Ukraine's border crossings with Russia and Belarus are closed due to the war. All entry must be from the west (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova) or by air. Check the latest official travel advisories before booking.
e-Visa is single-entry only
The Ukraine e-Visa allows one entry. If you leave Ukraine (even for a day trip), you'll need a new visa to re-enter. Plan your itinerary accordingly.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for e-Visa online
Go to evisa.gov.ua, fill in the application form, upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around $20 USD) and submit. Processing takes 5–10 business days. You'll receive the approved visa by email as a PDF.
2
Pack your documents
Print the e-Visa approval email and keep a digital copy on your phone. Also print your flight itinerary, accommodation booking, and travel insurance certificate. Have your passport ready.
3
Arrive at Ukrainian border control
At any airport or land border crossing, join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport and printed e-Visa. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Answer clearly — they usually speak some English at major airports like Kyiv Boryspil.
4
Receive entry stamp
Once approved, the officer stamps your passport with your entry date and allowed stay (usually 30 days). Check the stamp before leaving the counter — if the dates are wrong, ask for correction immediately.

Not officially required for Singaporeans, but it's wise to have a bank statement or credit card available if asked. Most travellers are not asked.
Rejections are rare but can happen if your photo doesn't meet standards or your passport is too close to expiry. You can reapply with corrected documents. There's no appeal process.
Yes, the e-Visa is valid at all official border crossings. Just have your printed visa and passport ready. Land crossings can have longer queues than airports.
