United Kingdom visa for Ukrainian citizens
Visa required
🇺🇦 Ukrainian passport → 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: yes — a visa arranged in advance.
How it works
You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.
Heads-up: United Kingdom commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in and border).
Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →
Beyond United Kingdom: the Ukraine passport
The 🇺🇦 Ukraine passport ranks #57 of 199 worldwide, entering 135 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Ukraine passport: 🇩🇪 Germany (90 days), 🇪🇸 Spain (90 days), 🇫🇷 France (90 days) — all 135 open destinations.
Going the other way? British citizens visiting Ukraine need no visa — visa-free for up to 90 days.
