Documents and nuances of crossing the border

To travel outside Ukraine, you need:
  • ✔️ a biometric international passport with a chip, valid for at least three months after the end of the trip;
  • ✔️ medical insurance, which can be arranged through the KLR contact centre;
  • ✔️ confirmation of the purpose of the trip: accommodation booking, an invitation, or a return ticket;
  • ✔️ for children under 16 years of age — an international passport and a birth certificate. During martial law, the consent of the second parent may not be required; however, the final rules are determined by the border guard service, so we still recommend having such a document. Check the current requirements before the trip;
  • ✔️ a military registration document, either in paper form or in the “Reserve+” application, containing up-to-date information, including for men aged 18–22.
To arrange medical insurance, you will need:
  • ✔️ The first page of the international passport. If the documents are in “Diia”, screenshots of the opened passport must be provided.
  • ✔️ A tax identification number, which is mandatory for adults and not required for children. If there is no identification number, prepare the first and second pages of the Ukrainian passport, the page confirming refusal of a tax identification number, and photos of both sides of the ID card.
At customs control, two drivers are usually involved. One hands over the vehicle documents and all permit documentation to the customs officers, while the other coordinates the passengers: communicates the border guards’ instructions and informs them which documents to prepare. At his instruction or at the instruction of the border guards, passengers leave the bus for passport control. If something goes wrong at the border, the drivers will suggest the optimal solution.
Thanks to modern buses, internet on board, climate control, and complimentary drinks, the journey passes quickly and sometimes even completely unnoticed :) Therefore, we recommend not hesitating and booking your tickets now. Still not sure about the trip and considering the departure date and other details? In this case, use the ticket reservation service. The service allows you to reserve a Zhytomyr – Istanbul bus ticket without payment. However, please note: if another passenger pays for your seat, the reservation voucher will be cancelled. ✅ KLR Bus is about your safety, comfort, a convenient bus timetable, and, at the same time, affordable prices.
