L’essentiel

- Ukrainian and dual nationals must check martial-law exit restrictions with the State Border Guard Service.
Entrée et visas

The State Border Guard Service makes the final admission decision. Use border crossings controlled by Ukrainian authorities and check transit-country rules. Ukrainian citizenship can affect exit rights during martial law.
