    Bulgaria, Ukraine to ease visa requirements

    Sofia, 30 September: Bulgaria and Ukraine will considerably ease the
    visa issuing procedure for many categories of people, the government
    press office said on Thursday [30 September]. This is envisaged in
    draft amendments to a Bulgarian-Ukrainian travel agreement approved by
    the government. The agreement was signed in 2001. The draft amendments
    scrap invitations as a condition for issuing a visa. Requirements
    will be eased for truck and bus drivers. They will be issued visas
    on presenting a copy of a licence for international road haulage and
    passenger transport. This will largely facilitate visa issuance for
    Bulgarian drivers, who by far outnumber Ukrainian drivers. Package
    tourists and persons travelling for treatment will be issued free visas
    on submitting a document to confirm the purpose of the visit. Thus the
    Bulgarian Government will no longer make decisions every year about
    free visa issuance to this category of persons during the tourist
    season. This move is part of the government's policy of easing visa
    requirements.

    In 2002 Foreign Minister Solomon Pasi and Russian Ambassador Vladimir
    Titov signed a travel agreement between the two governments, which
    envisages relaxing visa requirements. Agreements with Belarus,
    Armenia and Kazakhstan are under preparation.
