Ukrainians of military age will no longer be able to obtain foreign passports outside of Ukraine.
The Cabinet of Ministers adopted Resolution No. 443 on this on April 23.
The document states that “receipt of a passport of a citizen of Ukraine, a passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad by a male citizen of Ukraine from 18 to 60 years old is carried out at the territorial body of the State Migration Service.”
Such passports are not forwarded to separate units or foreign diplomatic institutions of Ukraine to organize their issuance.
However, there are exceptions to the new rule.
