Ukraine is a very interesting country with a great potential for
further development. Those who decide to visit this state would
undoubtedly be fascinated with the beauty of Ukraine travel routes.
Everyone who either has a wish to visit this state as a tourist or has
to come to it for the purpose of some business matters, first of all
has to visit the corresponding, i.e. the most convenient for you,
Ukraine Consulate. This will make it possible for the traveler to
settle all the matters concerning the necessary documents which may be
required for the trip.

In the US you can apply to one Ukraine Consulate of three, which
are situated in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Each of them is
called the Consulate General of Ukraine. And each of them provides the
whole range of necessary services. Above all, each Ukraine Consulate
is to supply those who need it with the current information about all
the formal issues concerning a visit to Ukraine. For instance, there
are some special requirements towards entry to this country. If you
are a short-term traveler, i.e. you are a tourist or a businessman
going there for a short period of time, you do not need a visa to
enter Ukraine. But you will need visa if you are going to study in
this country, work there or become a resident of Ukraine. In this case
you may need a single-entry or a multiple entry visa. This parameter
is very important, so think it through before you request a visa.

To obtain a visa at the Consulate of Ukraine you will need some
obligatory documents, first of all a passport or any other analogous
travel document. It should be valid for minimum one month after the
date of expiration of the visa you will be requesting. Then, you will
surely need an application form of a certain type and a recent photo
of yours. In addition, the official of the Ukraine Consulate may ask
you of some other necessary documents.

You should remember that Ukraine, together with the United
States of America
and almost 90 other countries, is a signatory of the
Hague Convention of October 5th, 1961. That means that for those who
want to visit Ukraine legalization of documents should not be
consular. However, you should know the main features of the
legalization procedure concerning the US documents. If you know that
during your visit to Ukraine any documents may be required from you,
then you should think of legalizing them beforehand. The corresponding
actions for legalization of public documents for Ukraine are quite
similar to those which are demanded by all the other countries all
over the world.

You may need to certify your documents by means of an apostille,
which is a documentary instrument designed for international use.
There are a lot of companies which would render you all the necessary
assistance for such legalizing of your documents. And after dealing
with all the formal issues you will be able to come to Ukraine.
