Ukraine has introduced the visa-on-arrival policy for Chinese citizens at Kiev Boryspil Airport and the airport of Ukraine's southern Black Sea resort of Odessa. Chinese citizens can obtain 15-day Ukrainian entry visas upon their arrival if they have a document confirming the business or tourist purpose of the visit.
The number of Chinese visitors to Ukraine increased by 51.4 percent in 2017, as the two countries are enjoying close business ties and people-to-people exchanges. A total of 31,114 Chinese citizens visited Ukraine last year, and most of them came to Ukraine for business, tourism or private purposes.
