In just under a month since the launch of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine’s “Personal Account” online service, 100,000 citizens have already used it.
During this time, nearly 800 people have received information about temporary restrictions on leaving Ukraine.
What You Can Check Through “Personal Account”
The State Border Guard Service’s online service allows users to check in real time whether there are any temporary restrictions on leaving Ukraine that apply to them.
This applies only to bans imposed:
-
- based on court decisions;
-
- in accordance with orders of the State Enforcement Service.
The State Border Guard Service emphasizes that users’ personal data is securely protected in accordance with current legislation.
The service does not lift restrictions
At the same time, checking your “Personal Account” does not automatically lift a travel ban.
The service merely helps users find out in advance whether a restriction is in place, determine the reason for its imposition, and take timely measures to resolve the situation.
This is especially important for citizens who are planning to travel abroad and do not want to find out about the ban only when they are going through border control.
Border guards advise checking this information in advance
During the summer, passenger traffic across the state border traditionally increases. Therefore, citizens are advised to check for any potential restrictions before beginning their trip.
The online service operates 24 hours a day and is accessible from a computer, smartphone, or other device with internet access.
Checking in advance will help avoid unpleasant surprises at the border and give you time to resolve any issues that may have led to a temporary travel ban.
