On June 11, 2017, Ukrainians were able to travel freely to Europe as the visa-free regime with the European Union came into effect. From that day on, Ukrainian citizens holding biometric passports were granted the right to enter the Schengen area for up to 90 days, but no more than 180 days a year. The list of countries that opened up to Ukrainians included EU member states (except Ireland and, at that time, the United Kingdom), as well as associated Schengen members Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.
