Entry Rules for Dominica Citizens

Citizens of Dominica can enter Ukraine visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, private visits, business meetings, and other short stays. You must enter with a valid passport; a national ID card is not accepted for border crossing.

Ukraine remains under martial law in 2026. Border officers may apply additional checks, so carry printed and digital copies of key documents and be ready to explain your itinerary clearly.

COVID-19: Ukraine has no COVID-related entry restrictions in 2026.

Required Documents

For visa-free entry, Dominican travelers should prepare the following:

• Passport (recommended: valid for at least 3 months after your planned departure to avoid airline and border issues).
• Travel medical insurance valid for Ukraine (mandatory for foreigners).
• Proof of purpose of travel (one or more): hotel booking, rental agreement, invitation letter from friends/relatives/company, tour voucher, medical appointment documents, or onward tickets for transit.
• Proof of sufficient funds for the trip (cash, bank statement, bank card balance, paid accommodation, or a host’s guarantee letter).
• No active entry ban (checked by the State Border Guard Service during control).

Minimum funds formula used at the border (2026): FO = ((20 × Pm) ÷ 30) × (Kd + 5), where Pm = 3,209 UAH and Kd is the number of days in Ukraine. Example: for 30 days, the minimum is 24,344 UAH.

Travel Insurance

Medical insurance is required for entry to Ukraine in 2026. Choose a policy that clearly states coverage in Ukraine and includes:

• Coverage for war-related risks (if available in your plan)

Buy insurance before departure and keep the policy number and insurer contact details accessible offline. Many travelers arrange coverage online via insurance-ukraine.com.
