Will she have any difficulties at Uk airport? And what about in Kiev and Simferopol? Also, if anyone knows, what about Ukraine passport control on her return?
A few thoughts:
- if your child has a British passport then make sure you know whether or not she needs a visa for the Ukraine.
- And if she is also a Ukrainian citizen, then check that it is legal for her to enter and leave on a British passport. She may need a Ukrainian passport as well.
- Make sure your wife's visa will not expire while she is outside the UK
- Your wife may want to think about carry with her a copy of the child's birth certificate + a letter from you giving consent for her to travel with your contact details (and maybe both translated into Ukrainian). No need to volunteer it, but have it available if asked by an airline or immigration official (not likely, but safer to have it than not).
