Visa: How to get one? What documents are required? For what terms is it issued?

Foreign citizens planning to enter Ukraine face these questions. The purposes of travel vary for everyone: business, study, permanent residence, transit, tourism, medical treatment, personal circumstances, and others.

Visa Processing for Foreign Citizens. Documents.

Visas for foreign citizens are of the following types:

• Transit (type "B" for stays up to 5 days);
• Short-term (type "C" for stays up to 90 days);
• Long-term (type "D" for stays over 90 days);

Therefore, first of all, you should determine the purpose and duration of your stay in Ukraine to identify the type of visa required.

To obtain any of the three visa types, a foreigner must present documents confirming the legal grounds for their stay in Ukraine. It is also necessary to correctly fill out the application form when submitting the visa application.

The Legal Department of the "Translation Department" provides services for compiling a complete visa document package, correctly filling out the application form, and paying all taxes and fees.

Each document package is unique. The correctness of its preparation directly affects whether the response will be positive or you will receive a refusal.
