A visa-free travel regime between Ukraine and Argentina started operating from Oct. 2, 2011, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has reported.

Ministry spokesman Oleksandr Dykusarov said at a briefing on Tuesday that a respective agreement between the governments of Ukraine and Argentina on the cancellation of visas foresees there being the opportunity for the citizens of both countries to enter, transit and depart from the territory of both countries without having to have visas either as tourists or for other non-profit activities for a period not exceeding 90 days per calendar year.

The travel documents valid for visa-free travel by Ukrainians to Argentina are a Ukrainian passport for travel abroad or travel documents for children.

"The implementation of the agreement will ensure the liberalization of the travel of Ukrainian citizens to Argentina, as well as contribute to the development of relations between the two countries and the intensification of contacts in the tourist, cultural, humanitarian and other spheres," Dykusarov said.
