Malaysia to Ukraine visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Ukraine on the e-Visa?

The tourist e-Visa is single entry and allows a stay of up to 30 days. It cannot be extended; longer stays require a traditional visa through an embassy.

Q: How much does the Ukraine e-Visa cost?

The relaunched e-Visa fee is USD 20 for single entry (USD 30 double entry), paid online by Visa/MasterCard. Urgent processing costs double. Some older embassy pages still cite a legacy USD 85 fee, so check the live amount at payment.

Q: Is travel insurance mandatory for Ukraine?

Yes. You must hold medical insurance with at least EUR 30,000 coverage valid for your entire stay. War-risk coverage is strongly recommended given the ongoing conflict.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply to Ukraine?

No. Ukraine is not part of the Schengen area or the EU, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Ukraine. You only need the Ukrainian e-Visa.

Q: Is it safe and legally permitted to travel to Ukraine now?

Ukraine still issues e-Visas and admits tourists, but it remains under martial law with an active conflict. Curfews and regional restrictions apply, and many governments advise against non-essential travel, so check current advisories before booking.

Malaysian ordinary passport holders need a Ukraine e-Visa for tourism. Apply online at evisa.mfa.gov.ua for a single-entry visa allowing a stay of up to 30 days. Ukraine is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen/ETIAS rules do not apply. As of 30 May 2026, Malaysia is not on Ukraine's visa-free list, so an ordinary Malaysian passport holder must obtain a visa before travelling. The good news is that Malaysia is among the 45 nationalities (which include most ASEAN states) eligible for Ukraine's electronic visa (e-Visa), which was relaunched on 17 February 2025 after a wartime suspension. Tourists apply entirely online through the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs platform at evisa.mfa.gov.ua, uploading a passport scan, photo, proof of funds, accommodation/itinerary and a medical insurance policy with at least EUR 30,000 coverage valid for the whole stay. The standard e-Visa is single entry, issued for tourism (category C short-stay), and permits a stay of up to 30 days. The official government fee under the relaunched scheme is USD 20 for single entry (USD 30 for double entry), with urgent same-day-style processing available at double the fee; standard processing is about 3 business days. Note that older embassy pages still quote a legacy USD 85 fee with 9 business days processing, so budget for variability and rely on the live portal figure at payment. Ukraine is NOT a Schengen or EU member, so there is no 90/180 Schengen rule and ETIAS does not apply to entering Ukraine. Travellers should also be aware Ukraine remains under martial law with an active conflict; entry is permitted but curfews, region-specific restrictions and elevated travel advisories apply, and most foreign ministries advise against non-essential travel.
