D Visa to Ukraine

Overview

Apply for a Ukraine D Visa — Your Gateway to Long-Term Stay and TRP. A Ukraine Visa (Type D) is the first step to obtaining a Temporary Residence Permit — required for work, study, family reunification, or immigration.

What Is a Ukraine D-Type Visa (Long-Term) and Why You Need It

The visa type D Ukraine is a long-term multiple-entry visa that allows a foreign national to enter Ukraine for up to 90 days within 180 days to apply for a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP).

It is required for all long-term purposes — employment, family reunification, or immigration. Even citizens of visa-free countries (EU, UK, Canada, etc.) must obtain a valid Ukraine visa type D before applying for TRP.

In short, the visa type D Ukraine is the only legal entry basis for obtaining residence in Ukraine.

Where to Apply (Consulate or VFS) & Who Is Exempt

You can apply for Ukraine D visa only abroad, through:

• Ukrainian Consulates or;
• VFS Global Visa Centers (in select countries).

Exemptions: Certain diplomatic, service, or official visa categories may differ — but all private individuals applying for TRP must apply abroad. Submission inside Ukraine is not allowed, except in specific humanitarian or extension cases verified by the State Migration Service (DMS).
