The procedure for entering Ukraine for Russians today

Recent years have brought a lot of difficulties and significantly worsened the relations between Russia and Ukraine due to the situation with the Crimea and other nuances. In this regard, the order of entry of Russians to Ukraine has changed in 2017, and if a few years ago, the trip to the neighboring state was fragile, today the rules have changed and have many features. Our article contains up-to-date and complete information about how to get to Ukraine in 2017, about the rules of entry into the Donbass and Crimea.

First, it should be noted that from March 1, 2015, entry into Ukraine for citizens of Russia is carried out solely with the help of a passport, while before the internal documents used to be missed. In addition, the use of other documents is allowed for Russians:

• Sail passport.
• Flight certificate.
• Service or diplomatic passport.

Visa registration in 2017 is not required, however, it is possible to stay on the territory of the country not more than 90 days every six months.

It should be noted that the passage of the border for citizens of Russia today is quite complicated and many people refuse to such an opportunity without explaining the reasons, even if the rules do not prohibit entry. To increase the chance to get to Ukraine Russian citizens, it is recommended to have:

• A sufficient amount of money.
• Invitation. It is not necessary, but this document will be able to confirm the purpose of your trip.
• Ticket in the opposite direction. Show his border guard, which will reduce the number of questions.

During the passage through the checkpoint, a stamp will be put in the passport, and you will not require a fill migration card. It is from the moment of marks and is expelled 90 days. If you move across the border in 2017 by car, then you may try to impose insurance. This is not at all necessary, but insurers will try to convince the need for the need for the policy. All of their words can be ignored and refuse from proposals. The rules of entry today do not provide for compulsory insurance for citizens of Ukraine.

Features of registration and financial confirmation

Travel borders of Ukraine and Russia in 2017 must be registered. As confirmation of this procedure, a mark with the date will be set to the passport. The entry rules today say that for 90 days you are allowed to be in the state and not be afraid to be fined. Citizens up to 18 years old Registration does not concern.

It should be noted that the term of 90 days is given for every six months, and therefore 3 months after returning home, you can go to Ukraine again. Such a norm exists for quite a long time, but today its observance is controlled hard.

If for some reason, the period of stay of Russian citizens in Ukraine must be extended, then 3 days before the end of the permissible period of stay, it is necessary to apply to the migration service. At the same time, it is necessary to have a package of documents with you:

1. International passport.
2. Application for an increase in the period of stay.
3. Statement of the host.
4. Photos (3.5 to 4.5).
5. Check about payment of state duty.

Violation of the established deadlines is punishable by a fine in the amount of up to 850 UAH. Although it is a small amount, but the entry of Russians violating the rules can continue to be difficult.

It is not necessary to have the necessary documents in 2017, because to enter Ukraine it is necessary to confirm that you have a certain amount of money. If financial confirmation will not be completed, then the person will be sent home.

Plan your travel budget, taking into account the rules of the host. So, since 2015, for 1 day, citizens of Russia should have at least 837 UAH. By the way, the peculiarity is that the minimum amount should be at least 5024 UAH., Even if you drive 1 day. Given these nuances, not every Russian will be able to go on a trip, especially if a whole family goes right away.

To confirm the availability of sufficient amount, it is necessary to provide:

1. Cash in hryvnia or foreign currency at the official rate.
2. Extract about the balance sheet of credit cards.
3. Document from the Bank, indicating the possibility of obtaining the necessary amount in Ukraine.
4. Tourist contract.
5. Document confirming meals with nutrition.
6. Invitation from the Ukrainian, who undertakes to take over all the costs associated with the stay of Russian citizens in the country.
7. Transit ticket to third party.

Main difficulties

In some situations, the availability of the necessary documents and funds does not guarantee the unimpeded passage of the border. Today, entry into the territory of Ukraine is significantly complicated for men aged 18 to 60 years, which may refuse without explicit reasons. This is especially true of people who travel almost without things in the company of several people.

In order not to have problems, take care of the design of the invitation from relatives or friends living in the country. Remember that this document should be necessarily issued in the notary, and the cost of such a service in 2017 is about 200 UAH. Older people and women with children undergo the border without problems and special checks.

You can get into the Crimea in several ways. Since Ukraine does not recognize the fact that the peninsula is part of Russia, it is impossible to drive into the country, if you hit the Crimea through the Russian passport. For such a violation you are flying or deported, as it is illegal penetration into the state.

The easiest way is the next route - from Russia to Ukraine, further to Crimea. It is necessary to return in reverse order.

Be prepared for the fact that the flight buses to the Crimea were canceled, and therefore it is necessary to get either on the travelers, or move the border on foot. Before and abroad there are no problems with transport.

To get to the Lugansk or Donetsk region for Russians by Ukraine today is almost impossible. It is much easier to do it from Russia, but remember that your passport will be stamp on staying in LNR or DPR. In the future, the presence of such a mark will lead to the fact that the chance to get to Ukraine will be zero.

Output

If you plan to get to Ukraine without any intents for tourism or visiting your relatives, you will not have problems. Prepare a predetermined list of documents, die finance and then you can cross the border. Make everything legally and the migration service of the questions will not be to you.
