COVID Related Travel Requirements/Restrictions:
You must comply with COVID-related testing and vaccination requirements of the countries you visit as well as the regulations of the airlines. If you fail to do so, you may be denied entry or boarding. As requirements vary from country to country, please make sure you fully understand the COIVD requirements of each country you plan to visit. Most of the country-specific requirements can be found on the website of the U.S. embassy located in that country.
Travel to the United States:
All air passengers, regardless of citizenship status, must show a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 1 day before travel to the United States. All non-immigrant, non-U.S. citizen air travelers to the United States are also required to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane. [More information can be found on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website.]
Ukraine has seen a sharp increase in new COVID-19 cases, and we strongly encourage all U.S. citizens to get vaccinated to facilitate international travel. You can find information about COVID-19 testing facilities in Ukraine here.
