REGISTERING YOUR PASSPORT WITH UKRAINIAN AUTHORITIES –IT’S THE LAW!
All foreigners are required to register their passports with local authorities. Individuals who fail to do so should expect to have problems when they attempt to leave the country and may face fines up to several thousands of dollars, depending on the length of time they spent 'illegally' in the country.

This registration requirement is met automatically when foreigners stay in hotels (hotel administration bears responsibility for registration) or when students register under established exchange programs.

However, private visitors are still required to have their hosts or relatives register their presence. The place to register is called the Office of Visas and Registration –OVIR in Russian, VVIR in Ukrainian that has jurisdiction over the pace of a foreigner’s residence. It is also the office that extends a foreigner’s visa, if need be.
