Current Travel Situation
Ukraine to India: What You Need to Know
India's eVisa system has made travel significantly more accessible for Ukrainian passport holders. India has maintained a notably neutral stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, abstaining from key UN votes and continuing to engage diplomatically with Russia. Nevertheless, Indian authorities welcome Ukrainian tourists and the eVisa process is straightforward. Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, and Rajasthan are popular destinations for Ukrainian visitors. The e-Tourist Visa allows a maximum stay of 90 days per entry.
How to Get There
India's internal rail network (Indian Railways) is extensive and a popular way to travel between cities. Booking in advance on the IRCTC website is recommended. Air India and IndiGo offer budget domestic flights. The Mumbai-Goa ferry is a scenic coastal option.
Money & Banking
India uses the Indian Rupee (INR). ATMs are widely available in cities, though sometimes impose withdrawal limits. Carry USD or EUR as backup; currency exchange desks are in all airports. Visa and Mastercard are accepted in major hotels and larger restaurants; cash is preferred in markets and smaller establishments.
Practical Tips
Most Ukrainians fly to India from Warsaw (WAW) via Dubai (DXB), Istanbul (IST), or Doha (DOH). Emirates, Turkish Airlines, and Qatar Airways all operate connecting flights to Delhi (DEL) and Mumbai (BOM). Flight time from Warsaw is approximately 9-12 hours including transit.
