Kyiv and Washington are completing negotiations on the introduction of the 10-year U.S. visas for Ukrainian citizens. The United States are currently holding the relevant domestic procedures, ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Oleksandr Motsyk said.
"We have been in talks with the American party for two years. We agreed that the Ukrainian party should meet certain conditions, and as of today we fulfilled these conditions. It is recognized by the American party. Now we are waiting for an internal agreement between the U.S. Department of State and Department of Homeland Security. 10-year visa will actually mean a visa-free regime," Motsyk said.
After the domestic inter-agency procedures in the United States are agreed, citizens of Ukraine will be able to get a 10-year visa to visit the United States.
Ukraine's implementation of pre-conditions relates to certain aspects of security and consular matters, the ambassador said.
