BF,
Try using your brain cell to understand that they need a visa to enter the European Union.
If you had a further brain cell then you could establish which countries are already in the EU and which countries join the EU on 01/01/2007.

Well I read it from a non-official site on google thats why I got it wrong. But it seemed plausible at the time coz rom and bulg arent in the EU yet.
Thanks for the correct info though you rude egotist. That explains why a lady told me she can only get a business visa for Latvia.
still, at least they can still go to the countries if they can get the visa, which in most cases allows them to stay for a short while in those countries if they have enough cash and somewhere to stay. basically same for us going to the USA really. But it doesn't mean that they CANT go out of the ukraine anywhere
BF,
Regardless of the visa requirement upon arrival in the country immigration will expect the lady to have confirmed hotel reservations, confirmed air tickets and enough cash funds to support herself during her stay, perhaps USD500.00 - USD1,000.00 for a week. If a man invites a lady upon such a trip then guess who is going to be expected/required to pay for her hotel, her air travel and provide the cash?
she wouldnt get in the USA, unless she had a finace's visa. The USA dont let ukrainians in coz they know they wont leave if they did. I was on about the neighbouring countries. and HUF 1000- should be about £5 nowadays ( I lived in Budapest for two academic years bout 12 years ago so I know my forints.
But maybe the neighbouring countries don't give out visas to Ukrainians very easily or maybe the Ukrainians just don't travel to them, although there were quite a few on the train from Lvov to Poland.
yes but staying in Romania is going to be cheaper than staying in Switzerland. But the thread is what countries they can go to without a visa, and the answer is none. BUT, they can get a visa quite easily it seems to me if they have enough cash. I do not seem to remember very many Ukrainians in Budapest 12-14 years ago though, but I guess russia still owned the ukraine then and Hungary had just split from russia so they probably didnt allow them to go there then. Just a guess though.
So, if they can get a visa if they have enough cash (lets assume thats the only criteria they need and obviously passport and hotel reservation), then one would assume there would be lots of them especially around the border areas of the ukraine. Is that so? I mean, are there lots of Ukrainians in Iasi for example, a popular city in romania near moldova and Ukraine? I know that they can't stay long coz of the visa requirement but they could theoretically meet in these countries that let them in..Britain, USA, Aussie are out of the question unless they have a spouse visa but the others are possible to meet in. Yes, you are right, the western guys will have to pay.
BF,
If you go to that link that I posted above you can answer all these visa questions for yourself, Ukrainians need a visa for Romania also.
They need a visa for Turkey but can buy it for approx USD10 upon arrival but they will need a hotel reservation and the referred to cash.
I was looking at a holiday some 2.5 years ago and one place I found that they did not need a visa for was Turkish occupied Cyprus. It was difficult to source this information because all the published visa information for Cyprus relates to the legal (Greek) Cyprus, I recall I sourced the information from the Turkinsh Cyprus embassy in UK.
But, because the Turkish occupation is still regarded as illegal international flights are also illegal, one can only fly there from Turkey and even the flights from UK land in Turkey first, taxi around an airport whilst changing flight number, and take off again. Providing a lady remains 'international' during a transit in Turkey she won't need to enter the country.
Accommodation is pretty cheap there also, this is one place I sourced:

Basi cally BF, for reasons best known to yourself, you're trying to avoid meeting the lady in her home country. That's fine but if you invite her to meet elsewhere then you're going to need to finance it and that will include transferring, to a person that you have never met, up to USD1,000.00.
Well I wouldn't say I am totally avoiding meeting in her home country, but the arsehole taxi driver cunt and the Grand Hotel's cash machine which ate up my debit card-and I was looking for my card very worried for half an hour until the manager came with the cash machine man to bring my card back-didn't help! And the reason I was looking at neighbouring countries for a possible meeting, is because it will be cheaper for her to travel to. But then if she needs to prove say £20 a night in Hungary and we meet for the weekend then she will need £60 + hotel reservation (say £40 in Miscolc or Romania or Poland/night) so around £100 + train fare ( I was gonna travel from Uzghorod to Vinnitsa and it was going to cost about £12) so say £20 each way for that if she travels a bit further, say from Odessa, plus dinner and breakfast say £20, plus th visa cost, say £20, so i reckon about £250-£300 or the weekend. She won need spending money coz I will fork out for the meals etc. so say another £100 for that and then the engagement ring (LOL that will cost bout $5000)
So, yeh you are right. Best to meet her at home and stop at her place for free :)))) ha ha ha
hey Martin, how do you know the tap water in Cyprus in dodgy? And what do you drink when you are at your missiz' parents' house then? Do they have a crate of bottled water at your disposal? That is a good tip by the way to have a holiday in northern Cyprus.
Do they have a crate of bottled water at your disposal? YES, BASICALLY WE DO?
BF,
You can work out your economy prices as much as you like but that ain't going to help a lady get past a stern nosed immigration officer. She's going to need sufficient funds to support HERSELF.
If she were arriving in UK then you, with home based rights, could provide a supporting letter, to the effect that you will support her, to sponsor her visa application but that only works, for you, in UK, anywhere else she is going to need the funds.
Does anyone know if FSU women can travel freely to Mexico or the Caribbean islands? As an American, those places would be a convenient place for a vacation or professional conference, to meet up with a woman.

Russian women can travel anywhere relatively easily, except for North America, Australia and NZ.
A young woman I was talking to had been to Venezuela and half of Europe, 4 times to Sweden. The girl I meet eariler this year has just got back from 2 weeks holiday in Paris. I also was messaging one that was working, in a friends restaurant, in the Caribbean.
It really isnt a problem for them to go to most places in the world.
Adman,
Did you look at Martin_UK's post? They can go to these places but they have to get a VISA first. Just like if you want to go to RUSSIA, you have to get a VISA first. it is not the same as just going like when we want to go to America for a holiday we just go and sign a visa waiver form on the plane when we land. It allows us (EU citizens) to stay in the states (as long as you can get past immigration coz if they ask you how much money you have and you dont have much they wont let you in...talkin from experience here although I got let in, in the end.)
But going back to your point, yes they can get there if they can get a visa first and they need cash, return flight and hotel reservation as well as pocket money to get one. (I THINK)
