Under the scheme proposed by the European Commission, implemented based on the agreement between the Bank of Lithuania and the National Bank of Ukraine, one Ukrainian citizen will be able to exchange a maximum of 10,000 hryvnias (approximately €250). The exchange rate set by the National Bank of Ukraine, which is currently 39.44 hryvnias to one euro, will apply. The exchange rate will be set weekly by the National Bank of Ukraine and will be communicated to the Bank of Lithuania. The rate will be published on the Bank of Lithuania’s website.
The hryvnia-to-euro exchange scheme will be available at the rate set by the National Bank of Ukraine until 5 December 2022, as foreseen in the agreement with the National Bank of Ukraine. This period may be extended if deemed necessary.
Ukrainian citizens wishing to exchange hryvnias into euro will have to present an identity document and a valid foreigner registration certificate issued by the Lithuanian Migration Department. Banknotes will be exchanged in the following denominations: 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Ukrainian hryvnias. Worn Ukrainian hryvnia banknotes and defective banknotes will not be exchanged. Coins will also not be exchanged.
