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).

Please note

Check official visa type D Ukraine requirements before your appointment.

Grounds & D-Subtypes (Match Your Purpose)

Each visa type D Ukraine category depends on your purpose of stay. Choosing the correct Ukraine D visa subtype ensures smooth TRP application.
