Ukrainians often find it difficult to get visas for travel in Europe Union countries. Visa requirements could be waived—if the Ukrainian government makes reforms.
The European Union set requirements three years ago for all countries requesting visa-free travel for their citizens. The requirements are divided into two stages: legislation and implementation.
Neighboring Moldova needed to make almost the same reforms as Ukraine in the same amount of time. It completed the legislation stage last summer. Europe Without Borders has monitored Ukraine’s progress, and says it lags far behind, with less than half of the reforms completed.
