Thailand to Ukraine visa requirements

Thai ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Ukraine for tourism. Thailand is on Ukraine's list of 45 eligible countries (e-Visa program relaunched 17 Feb 2025). Apply online at evisa.mfa.gov.ua before travel; the single-entry tourist (Type C) e-Visa costs USD 20 and allows a stay of up to 30 days. Ukraine is NOT in the Schengen area and runs its own visa regime. Thai ordinary passport holders are not visa-exempt, but Thailand is one of the 45 countries eligible for Ukraine's electronic visa, which was relaunched on 17 February 2025. Thai tourists apply entirely online via the official portal evisa.mfa.gov.ua, uploading a passport scan, a photo, travel medical insurance valid for Ukraine, and proof of sufficient funds, then pay the consular fee by card. The short-stay Type C e-Visa is issued as single entry (USD 20) or double entry (USD 30), with optional urgent processing for double the fee. It is valid for 30 days from issue and permits a stay of up to 30 days. Passports must be valid at least 6 months beyond the intended stay. Important: Ukraine remains under martial law due to the ongoing war; while foreign tourists are not barred from entry and the e-Visa system functions, many governments (including Thailand) advise against non-essential travel, air travel is suspended (entry is by land or rail from neighbouring EU countries), and enhanced security checks apply at borders. Travelers should verify the latest security situation before booking.
