Between Ukraine and numerous countries worldwide, a visa-free regime is in place, simplifying travel for citizens of both sides. With some countries, agreements have also been made for obtaining an e-visa, which allows obtaining a visa online for 30 days without the need for a personal visit to diplomatic institutions. In such cases, there is no need to apply for an invitation for foreigners.
If you need to issue an invitation for a foreigner, we recommend first consulting with an immigration lawyer. Consultations can be provided in person at our office, online via messengers, or by phone to ensure maximum comfort for you.
The process of issuing an invitation for a foreign citizen includes several important steps:
- Consultation to choose the optimal arrival and legalization method in Ukraine.
- Collection of necessary documentation, including preparation of notarized translations and copies.
- Preparation of the invitation itself, which can be made on behalf of an individual or a legal entity.
- Sending documents abroad, which can be done through delivery services such as DHL or other verified courier services.
- Assistance in the documentation submission process for obtaining a visa at the diplomatic mission or consulate of Ukraine, which can be performed remotely.
This process can be somewhat complex and time-consuming, so it’s important to have a clear understanding of each stage and timely perform necessary actions.
Preparing such an invitation is an important step in obtaining a visa for a foreigner or stateless individual. Such an invitation can be:
- Short-term (C) for a period of up to ninety days within 180 days;
- Long-term (D).
Most often, the need for an invitation arises when applying for a “C” type visa. Some nuances to consider beforehand:
- This visa does not provide right to work;
- After receiving the invitation, you can apply for a single-entry, double-entry, or multiple-entry visa (but not exceeding five years);
- The visa’s validity period cannot exceed the passport’s expiration date;
- The passport must be valid for at least 3 months from the planned date of departure.
