Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit UA?

German ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Ukraine. You may stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period visa-free. Note: Ukraine is under martial law due to the ongoing war, and the German Federal Foreign Office issues an active travel warning. Valid travel health insurance is required for entry. Ukraine maintains a visa-free regime for German citizens (and EU nationals generally) for short stays. A German ordinary passport holder may enter Ukraine without a visa and stay up to 90 days within a rolling 180-day period for tourism, family visits, short business, or cultural/sports events. Ukraine is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Ukraine; the 90/180 limit here is Ukraine's own domestic rule. Entry requires a valid passport (valid at least the full duration of the planned stay, with at least 3 months' validity beyond departure recommended) and, importantly, mandatory travel health insurance valid in Ukraine. Because of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine is under martial law: airspace is closed (no commercial flights), entry is by land border or rail, men of certain nationalities may face conscription-related checks (not applicable to foreign tourists), and Germany's Auswärtiges Amt issues a formal travel warning against travel to Ukraine. Travelers should register on the German crisis list (ELEFAND), carry war-risk insurance, and monitor air-raid alerts. For stays beyond 90 days, employment, study, or residence, a long-term type D visa is required.
