Ukraine Entry Guide for Jordan Citizens 2026

Entry Rules for Jordan Citizens (2026)

Jordanian citizens need a short-term Type C visa to enter Ukraine for tourism, business, private visits, or cultural/sports events. The Type C visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

You must obtain the visa before travel. Visa on arrival is not available for Jordanian passport holders.

When to apply: submit your application no earlier than 3 months before your planned entry date.

Where to apply: through a Ukrainian diplomatic mission (Embassy/Consulate) or other authorized Ukrainian consular offices handling visa applications.

Required Documents

Prepare a complete file to reduce the risk of delays or refusal. Typical requirements for a Type C visa include:

• Passport valid for at least 3 months after your planned departure from Ukraine (and with free pages for visas/stamps).
• Visa application form (completed as required by the consular office).
• One recent photo (standard visa photo size 35×45 mm).
• Travel medical insurance valid in Ukraine with coverage of at least €30,000.
• Proof of sufficient funds (bank statements, income certificate, or a sponsorship letter with supporting documents).
• Proof of travel purpose, such as hotel booking/tour voucher, invitation letter (private or business), event invitation, medical documents (for treatment), or onward tickets (for transit).
• Visa fee payment receipt.

Visa fees: standard processing is typically $65; urgent processing is typically $130. Visas for children under 18 are generally free of charge (service fees may still apply depending on the application channel).

Financial sufficiency (border/visa checks): Ukraine uses a minimum-funds calculation based on the subsistence minimum. In 2026, the subsistence minimum used in the formula is 3,209 UAH. Bring documents that clearly show you can cover accommodation, daily expenses, and return travel.

Travel Insurance

Medical insurance is mandatory for Jordanian travelers and must provide at least €30,000 coverage valid in Ukraine.

For travel during martial law, choose a policy that also covers:

• Emergency outpatient and inpatient treatment
• Emergency transportation and hospitalization
• Repatriation (medical evacuation/return of remains)
• Accidents and injuries
• War-related risks (where available under the policy terms)

You can arrange suitable coverage online in advance; many travelers use insurance-ukraine.com to compare options and buy a policy that meets visa and entry requirements.

Safety

Ukraine remains under martial law in many areas, and the security situation can change quickly. Practical steps for a safer trip:

• Plan routes with flexibility and avoid areas with active hostilities.
• Follow air-raid alerts and immediately go to shelter when instructed by local authorities.
• Carry originals and copies of your passport, visa, insurance, and accommodation details.
• Expect checkpoints between regions and within some cities; keep documents ready and follow instructions calmly.
• Do not photograph or record military personnel, equipment, checkpoints, or air-defense activity.

Emergency number: dial 112 for all emergency services (operators can route you to police, ambulance, fire, or gas emergency services).

Customs (Money, Goods, Medicines, Pets)

Green corridor (no written declaration): generally used when you carry only items within duty-free limits and no restricted goods.

• Personal belongings for personal use
• Goods up to €500 total value and up to 50 kg
• Food for personal use up to €200
• Cash (UAH and foreign currency) up to €10,000 equivalent
• Medicines (non-narcotic/non-psychotropic): typically up to 5 packages of each medicine per person

Red corridor (written declaration required): use this if you exceed limits, carry restricted items, or have goods requiring permits (including certain medicines, cultural values, and larger amounts of currency).

Prohibited imports include narcotics and psychotropic substances, explosives and poisons, certain foods without certification, pornography, and weapons (including gas sprays) without the required Ukrainian permits.

Export rules: goods under €10,000 total value can usually be exported without a written declaration; higher values require declaration and may involve duties. Some categories are restricted or prohibited (weapons/ammunition, narcotics, certain cultural property, and other controlled items).

Traveling with pets: pets must have an ISO 11784/11785 microchip, a valid rabies vaccination after microchipping, and a veterinary health certificate issued shortly before travel (commonly within 10 days). Check the exact certificate format required for your departure country and airline/transport operator.

Driving in Ukraine

Ukraine has right-hand traffic. Keep your driving license and vehicle registration documents with you while driving. Seat belts are mandatory for the driver and front passenger.

Speed limits (typical):

• Residential/pedestrian zones: 20 km/h
• Within cities/towns: 50 km/h
• Outside settlements: 90 km/h
• Divided roads outside settlements: 110 km/h
• Motorways: 130 km/h

Children in cars: children under 12 must use appropriate child restraints; transporting a child in the front seat without a child seat is prohibited. Children over 12 must wear seat belts.

Driving during martial law: expect checkpoints, defensive structures, and emergency vehicles. Avoid sudden maneuvers, do not film at checkpoints, and follow instructions. At checkpoints, slow down, prepare documents, and only exit the vehicle if asked.

Foreign-plate vehicles: foreign citizens may generally drive a car with foreign plates in Ukraine for up to one year for personal use. If staying longer than two months, temporary registration may be required through the relevant service center.
