The facilitation of issuance of short-stay visas

This procedure concerns an agreement between the European Union and Ukraine to make it easier for Ukrainian citizens to obtain short-stay visas for the EU, and for EU citizens to obtain visas for Ukraine. It aims to simplify travel and strengthen ties between the two regions.

The agreement affects citizens of both the EU and Ukraine who wish to travel for short stays. It simplifies visa application procedures, reduces fees, and shortens processing times, fostering people-to-people contacts and cooperation.
