Visa Releasing

---

When an application is submitted in person or through a travel agency or visa service, a numbered receipt (a pick-up slip) is issued to the submitter. This receipt should be presented at the Visa Office of the Consulate General when the visa is claimed.

The travel document will be released to the submitter of the receipt unless its owner or other submitter has provided other written notarized instructions at the time of the application. If the receipt is lost the travel document will be released only to its holder or at the written notarized request of the holder to his/her appointee.

If you apply by mail, you should enclose a completely-addressed and stamped return envelope or prepaid airbill for USA delivery only, bearing your account number and showing your company as both the shipper and the recipient.

We do not accept airbills marked "Bill Recipient", or "Bill Third Party", or "Bill Credit Card", or C.O.D.

If you fail to follow the above-mentioned requirements, your visa application will not be processed.

If the papers are not acceptable for any reason or some documents are missing, we will return them by regular mail.

We do not accept documents for international delivery.

The Consulate General is not responsible for lost, damaged, misdirected, or late-delivered mail.

---

If the travel document is to be sent back, a prepaid, self-addressed return envelope or a courier service's air bill is required from the submitter. When there is no enclosed prepaid, self-addressed return envelope or a courier service's air bill, the travel document can upon its owner or other submitter notarized request, be kept at the Consulate General without charge for personal pickup or may be mailed to a designated address by regular mail.

If no instruction has been given, the travel document not submitted in person will be held at the Consulate General also gratis until instructions are forthcoming.

IMPORTANT:

1) Visa processing starts only after we have registered your application and collected all necessary documents.

2) A drop-off day is not counted as a business day.

3) If you apply by mail please allow one more day processing time.

4) Any application received on Wednesdays, weekends, official Ukrainian and US holidays will be registered by the Consulate only on the next business day.
