What Travellers Should Know
Ukraine’s airspace is closed
Ukraine’s airspace remains closed to civil aviation. Travellers cannot currently rely on normal scheduled international passenger flights directly into Ukraine and generally need to enter by land from a neighbouring country.
Missile and drone attacks continue
Russian missile and drone attacks continue across Ukraine and can affect civilian infrastructure, transport and energy supplies. Air raid alerts can occur throughout the country.
Land travel remains possible
Operating land crossings connect Ukraine with countries including Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova. Travellers should expect additional security checks and possible queues or delays.
Russia and Belarus borders
Ukraine’s international borders with Russia and Belarus are currently closed. Travellers should not plan an itinerary that depends on crossing these borders.
Entry requirements
Entry rules depend on nationality. Travellers should check passport, visa and documentation requirements with Ukrainian authorities before travelling.

Before You Travel
