Last year, I entered Ukraine in January and left five months later. Ukraine’s visa policy with most of the world is called 90/180. That means you’re allowed to enter the country, stay for 90 days and then leave for 90 days before returning back to the country. That’s what the whole 90/180 rule means.
When I was leaving the country, I went through passport control. The guy opened my passport, scanned it in the system and immediately knew that I had overstayed. He motioned me to go to another office, also in the airport. In that office, I was presented with a fine. I also had to pay in cash.
The fine was for 5100 UAH ($180).
I went to an ATM, took out the money and paid the fine.
After I went through passport control again, I showed the receipt and they stamped my passport. The immigration officer told me that I could return back to the country after 90 days.
I believe my situation wasn’t that bad. I’ve heard others being banned from the country altogether (1-3 years).
So, there you have it. That’s what happens when you overstay your visa in Ukraine.
If you have any experience or questions, let me know in the comments below.

Watch out, the rules has change, the fine for overstaying is now of 5100 griviens.
And 3 years forbidden to come back in the territorry.
Also, the officers at the airport are not friendly at all.
Just watch out !
Or even better, just don t go in Ukraine at all. Nothing good there and it s dangerous !
