The eTA is a mandatory digital document required for visa-exempt travelers, which can be obtained online in advance of travel. It is important to note that an eTA is not a visa, but rather a pre-screening process that allows travelers to apply online prior to their trip. The application process for an eTA is typically faster and more streamlined than the traditional visa application process, as it involves submitting basic personal and travel information and paying a fee online. Once approved, the eTA is linked electronically to the traveler's passport and is usually valid for multiple entries to the destination country within a specified timeframe.

The application process and requirements for a visa can vary depending on the destination country, the purpose of the visit, and the applicant's nationality. Typically, a visa application involves filling out a form and submitting supporting documents such as a passport, travel itinerary, and proof of financial means. The application may also require an interview with a consular officer at the embassy or consulate of the destination country. The processing time for a visa can range from a few days to several weeks or even months, and the cost of obtaining a visa can also vary widely.

Visa-free travel destinations for Ukraine passport holders can change periodically based on various factors, such as updated visa agreements between countries, temporary travel restrictions, and newly imposed entry requirements.

It's essential to keep in mind that the visa-free countries list is not static and can vary over time. Therefore, it's always advisable to check before traveling for any additional visa requirements or temporary restrictions that may be imposed by your travel destination country. 

Additionally, some countries may impose additional conditions or limitations on Ukraine passport holders, such as proof of vaccination or quarantine requirements, which can also change over time. It's important to stay informed about the latest travel updates and entry requirements to ensure a smooth and hassle-free travel experience.
