Author Topic: Vstat na uchot?  (Read 6867 times)

My wife has a friend from Kiev who was told she "MUST" inform the Ukraine embassy In America of her whereabouts upon emigrating to USA.

This woman did not get an exit visa when she left over 2 years ago and now wishes to return to visit, she does have her greencard.

My tells me that this in Russian is called "vstat na uchot" and was told they must have this travel letter in their passport.

I have not heard anyone on this board write about this and I do not want to tell this woman she does not need anything to travel back to ukraine...so maybe someone with some recent travel history can get me up to date.

Has anyone had their wife get her passport stamped with exit visa after "returning" to Ukraine??


Any suggestions from the experts who "have" had their wife travel to and from FSU??

This topic has been covered at length on this board in the archives by Dan and myself and others.  You may have your wife obtain the so-called "exit visa" which is in reality a permission from the Ukrainian government to live abroad.  This may be obtained through the Ukrainian Embassy along with a $150 filing fee and a ton of documents to be filled out by her and her Ukrainian relatives.  After seeing these forms, we elected not to go this route since, with the "exit visa" your wife forfeits a lot of rights under Ukrainian law.  While there have been some reports, most of them several years old, of people being hassled at Borispol airport when they do not have the "exit visa" or permission to live abroad, most Ukrainian residents living in the U.S. are not stopped about this.  Of course, out of an abundance of caution, if you enter Ukraine from Russia or Poland on her Ukrainian passport no one will know that she has a green card. (Although for Poland this option won't be available after March 1, '03 since they will require visa to enter from Ukraine) I don't know anyone on the board who has actually gotten this thing, so I would rest easy.  You certainly don't need to tell the Embassy.

Thanks Charles, this is not about my wife...she is a Moscovite and she is allowed to have dual citizenship.

A friend of hers is from Ukraine and is scared to go back home to visit. The problem is misinformation or lack of...

A friend of hers told us Ukraine citizens need something from the Ukraine embassy in Washington D.C. for her passport....this paper is called the Vstat na uchot....we are not sure if it is REQUIRED or just an added precaution..
or just misinformation..

Charles, did your wife travel to Ukraine direct without any additional papers?  

That is my question...
