Agreement between the European Community and Ukraine on the facilitation of the issuance of visas,
18 December 2007
The agreement eases the procedures for issuing short-stay visas (up to 90 days) to Ukrainian citizens travelling to the Schengen Member States. The decision on issuing a visa has to be made within 10 calendar days. This period may be extended up to 30 days if further scrutiny is needed. In urgent cases the waiting period may be reduced to 2 days or less. A unified visa fee of 35EUR is introduced for both single and multiple-entry visas. The agreement exempts some groups of citizens from the visa fee entirely and simplifies conditions for issuing multiple-entry visas.
