  • Form DS5528 Promissory Note (fill it out electronically and email it back to us at KyivUSCitizen@state.gov). If you are traveling with minor children, you can include them on your own form, no need to fill out separate forms for each child).

All U.S. citizens interested in possible evacuation should be prepared to leave on short notice.  Check the validity of your U.S. passport.  If it expires in the next three months, send an email immediately to KyivACS@state.gov to schedule an emergency appointment to renew it.  Please enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) if you have not already done that.

There is no guarantee that the Department of State will be able to continue to provide repatriation assistance, and transportation options to the United States may be unavailable in the future.  If a flight becomes available and you choose to remain overseas, you should be prepared to remain where you are for the foreseeable future.  General quarantine procedures in Ukraine have been extended through April 24.  Additional information on COVID-19 in Ukraine is available at the Embassy’s webpage.
