FAQ's
Receive an official Study Invitation from a Ukrainian university, prepare all required documents, book a visa appointment at the Ukrainian Embassy or VFS Global, submit your application with original documents, and wait for the visa decision (standard or urgent). Requirements and fees may vary by country.
The “Ukraine Visa for International Students” is a critical document provided by the Ukrainian university where the student has been admitted. It must be correctly included in the visa application, and our consultants at Demont Educational Consultancy offer guidance on ensuring its proper inclusion.
Previous education documents must be officially legalized or apostilled in the country where they were issued, depending on international agreements. After legalization, the documents must be translated into Ukrainian and the translation notarized. These certified documents are required for both the visa application and university admission.
Ensuring recognition of foreign educational documents in Ukraine is legally required because, under Ukrainian law, foreign qualifications must be formally assessed and recognized as equivalent to Ukrainian education standards. This procedure, called nostrification, confirms the authenticity of your documents, the status of the issuing institution, and the equivalence of your qualification. For students enrolling in the first year of university, Ukrainian legislation allows the nostrification procedure to be completed within three months from the date of the enrollment order. This ensures that students can begin their studies promptly while having their foreign qualifications officially recognized. For students transferring to a higher course, the nostrification procedure must be completed immediately at the moment of enrollment. This guarantees that the university can legally recognize your previous academic achievements and issue your diploma upon graduation. Only after this recognition can a Ukrainian university legally issue a diploma, and your qualification be formally accepted for continuing education, professional rights, or employment in Ukraine.
