VISAS
Q: How
early before a departure day can documents be submitted
for consideration?
A: A regular visa issuance process is
ten business days (starting from the date your documents
have been registered by the Consulate), and we advise
you to have your visa in hand before purchasing airline tickets.
Q: Can
you fax us Visa application forms?
A: No, we cannot. Under the new regulation,
only an individual traveler to Ukraine, either appearing at
our Visa Office in person or requesting the form by mail,
may receive an application form. If ordering such a form by
mail, a return self-addressed prepaid express envelope is
required.
Q:
I have the following questions on filling out a Visa application:
i) What is meant by #7
- personal number?
A: It can be either a Social Security
or an ID number.
ii) What is meant by #9
- passport details?
A: Please, open your passport and find
all information you need on its first page (the passport
type - on the left upper corner, usually).
iii) I need to know how
to fill in the "Arrivals/Departures" lines
on the form? Should I include a specific date, or is the month
I plan to arrive and depart sufficient?
A: You should include an exact date
of you arrival/ departure.
Q:
What do you mean by single
and double entry? Also if we go to Russia during our
stay in Ukraine do we need a double entry? Will this visa cover
such a visit?
A: - a single entry visa - this
type of visa will cover only one visit (one entry and one
exit);
- a double entry visa - this type of visa will cover
two visits (two entries and two exits), and if you
are planning to go to another country and return back to Ukraine
you should apply for a double entry visa.
Q: We
will be traveling to Ukraine to perform humanitarian work.
Does Consulate have any provision for issuing visas for humanitarian
purposes free of charge?
A: A such type of visa (Г) is issued
only on the basis of a letter of support from the Committee
on Humanitarian Aid of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine,
and it's free of charge.
Q: Are
we supposed to provide Consulate with the copies of air tickets?
A: The copies of tickets (for airplane,
train or ship - from the point of entry into Ukraine to the
point of entry into the next country from Ukraine) are
required only if you apply for a transit visa.
Q: My
wife is a citizen of Ukraine. Can she make invitation
for me if she currently is in the USA? Do you have a special
invitation form to fill out inside the USA?
A: No invitation letters are necessary
for US, Canada, Switzerland, Japan, Turkey, Slovakia citizens
and citizens of the countries of the European Union for obtaining
official, business, private, cultural and sporting visas.
