On 17 May 2017, the legislative act finalizing the visa-free regime between Ukraine and the EU was signed in the European Parliament. Ukrainians will no longer require visas to travel to most EU countries for tourism, family visits and business reasons.

The visa-waiver is expected to come into force after 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of the amendment to Regulation 539/2001.

Once in force, Ukrainian citizens with biometric passports will no longer require visas when traveling for short stays of up to 90 days to all EU Member States except for Ireland and the UK, as well as the four Schengen associated countries.

Although this visa-waiver does not grant Ukrainians the right to work in the EU it is considered a huge step toward the strengthening of EU-Ukraine relations.
