From the end of 2026, entry to Europe for Ukrainians will be subject to a fee – a new authorization system for citizens of visa-free countries, ETIAS, will be implemented. This is discussed above website system.
It was clarified that ETIAS is not a visa but will serve as another step in verifying the identity of foreigners and the purpose of their visit. It was planned to introduce such entry permits in 2016, but for various reasons the start was postponed. You can apply for ETIAS online for 20 euros (1.7 thousand rubles) per person, reports Obozrevatel.
The permit will be valid for three years after registration and will allow Ukrainians to stay in 30 European countries for 90 days.
Until the end of 2026, the previous visa-free regime for entering the EU for Ukrainians will continue to apply.
Previously, it was reported that a Ukrainian citizen began threatening police officers near an airport in Europe and had to pay the price for that action. A 57-year-old man stepped onto the train tracks near Dresden airport station, Germany.
