Links regarding Visa requirements

It is important to check if a Visa is required for transit in the country you are traveling through. Holders of US and Canadian passports DO NOT require Visa’s to enter Switzerland and the Ukraine. Holders of Israeli passports (without dual citizenship) will be required to have a visa to travel through the Ukraine (but not Switzerland). All other passport holders should click on the applicable link below to find out if they require a Visa. You will not be able to travel without the Visa. Failure to obtain a Visa will result in you being flown directly back to the US and forfeiting your deposit (plus any additional fees that may be imposed).
