This was during his visit to Kiev, said Japanese Foreign Minister Kazuyuki Nakano. As reported on Thursday, November 9, Japanese embassies in Ukraine, on the occasion of Nakano's visit to negotiate with the government of Ukraine, identified measures to simplify visa requirements for short-term stay for citizens of Ukraine.

They will come into force on January 1, 2018.

In particular, Japan is expanding the circle of applicants who are eligible for multiple-entry short-stay visas with business purposes, as well as cultural and scientific figures, and the validity of visas will increase from three to five years.

In addition, in addition to the existing single entry visas, multiple entries will be introduced, valid for three years and with a maximum stay of 30 days, for a short stay with various purposes, including tourist. And in the case of an independent payment for a trip, the applicant will not be required to provide documents from the guarantor.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, visa-free regime between Ukraine and the UAE will come into force in December.
