There are currently a total of 109 Ukraine passport visa-free countries, 39 Ukraine visa-on-arrival countries, and 2 eTA destinations.

Separate from these Ukraine visa-free countries and visa-on-arrival countries, there are 79 additional destinations which Ukraine passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa (i.e. visa required countries).
