Attestation of the documents

Since Algeria is not a Hague Convention country, documents need to be attested by Consular Legalization. This is the official process that confirms the authenticity of your documents from Algeria so that they are recognized by Ukrainian authorities (universities, official bodies, immigration departments).

Consular legalization is a multi-stage process:

1. Certification by a Notary/Public Authority in Algeria – initial signature and status check.
2. Legalization by the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – confirms the above is valid.
3. Legalization by the Embassy/Consulate of Ukraine (or Ukraine’s relevant authority) – final attestation that the document is recognized for use in Ukraine.

This procedure must be conducted in Algeria (at appropriate authorities and the Embassy/Consulate that handles such services).

 Consular fees of Ukraine for citizens of China

Attestation of the documents

China is officially a member of the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, and the apostille system came into effect on 7 November 2023.

For documents issued in mainland China, the following authorities can issue apostilles:

• Department of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) — the main national authority – www.cs.mfa.gov.cn/zggmcg/fjzms.
• Authorized Foreign Affairs Offices (FAOs) of local governments — these are provincial/municipal foreign affairs offices designated by the MFA, and they can issue apostilles for documents issued within their jurisdiction – www.assets.hcch.net

To obtain an apostille, please submit the original document together with a notarized copy.

You generally must apostillise a Chinese document in the same region where it was issued — e.g., Shanghai documents via the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office.

For documents issued in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), the following authorities can issue apostilles:

• The High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region – www.judiciary.hk

For documents issued in Macau Special Administrative Region (Macau SAR), the following authorities can issue apostilles:

• The Secretary for Administration and Justice – www.gsaj.gov.mo
• The Director and the Deputy Directors of Justice Affairs Department – www.dsaj.gov.mo

For documents issued in Taiwan Province (PRC), the following authorities can issue apostilles and is carried out in the following sequence with the involvement of the organization:

Step 1. Notarization in Taiwan Province (PRC)

• The document is first notarized by a licensed notary in Taiwan Province (PRC).
• At this stage, the document is not yet eligible for apostille, because Taiwan is not a Hague Convention territory.

 Step 2. Certification by the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF)

• The notarized document is then submitted to the Straits Exchange Foundation (Chinese: 海峡交流基 金会) .SEF performs cross-strait verification of the Taiwanese notarization for use in Mainland China.
• This step is mandatory for recognition of Taiwanese documents within PRC legal procedures.

Step 3. Authentication by the China Notary Association (CNA)

• After SEF certification, the document is transferred to the territorial office of the China Notary Association (Chinese: 中国公证协会). CNA confirms the validity of the SEF certification, and compliance with Mainland China notarial standards.
• At this stage, the document is prepared for involvement of Mainland China notarial authorities.

Step 4. Notarization by a Notary in Mainland China

The document is then re-notarized by a licensed notary in Mainland China. This step effectively converts the Taiwanese-origin document into a form acceptable within the PRC notarial system. Only after this step does the document qualify as a Mainland China public document.

Step 5. Apostille by the PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Finally, the document is submitted to Department of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC, or an authorized provincial Foreign Affairs Office. The MFA / FAO issues the apostille in accordance with the Hague Apostille Convention. Detailed list of competent authorities:
assets.hcch.net

Important Clarification:

• Apostille cannot be issued directly in Taiwan Province (PRC)
• Apostille is issued only after the document enters the Mainland China legal system
• This multi-step procedure is mandatory due to Taiwan’s special international legal status
• If additional or problematic issues arise during the apostille process for documents issued in Taiwan Province (PRC), applicants should contact: China Notary Association (中国公证协会): +86 10 5951 3425, +86 10 5951 3420; Beijing Notary Association (北京公证协会): +86 10 8632 9961, E-mail: bjsgzxhywb@163.com.

Important Notes:

• Chinese Embassies or Consulates abroad do not issue apostilles for Chinese documents. Only the MFA/FAOs inside China can issue them.
• China now also issues electronic apostilles (e-Apostille) for certain categories. The requirement depends on whether the document was digitized prior to the apostille application.
• You can verify apostilles online through the MFA’s verification portal.
• Documents that were fully legalized through consular legalization before 07.11.2023 (i.e., bearing the stamps and signatures of the authorized officials of the MFA of the PRC and the Embassy of Ukraine in the PRC) are valid for use in Ukraine and do not require additional apostille certification.

Consular fees of Ukraine for EU citizens

Ukraine’s Embassies/Consulates abroad charge $65.00 (basic visa fee) for processing visa applications via regular service. Fees are doubled for all applications filed upon expedited service.

Visa fees for certain visa types for applicants from certain countries might differ from basic visa fee above due to reciprocity principle. You can find the exact cost of a study visa directly on the official website of the Embassy of Ukraine in your country.

We strongly recommend that international students check the embassy’s website for the most up-to-date information, as visa fees and requirements may change.

 Attestation of the documents

Students from C.I.S. countries can attest their educational documents in their home country before traveling to Ukraine.

Since all the countries-members are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention, document attestation is completed by obtaining an Apostille.The Apostille is issued by the competent authority in your country, most commonly:

• the Ministry of Justice,
• the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or
• the designated state authority responsible for document authentication.

The Apostille must be placed on:

• your diploma or school certificate, and
• your academic transcript.

Once the Apostille is issued:

• your documents should be translated into Ukrainian, and
• the translation must be notarized.

The final step (translation and notarization) can be completed in Ukraine after arrival or by an authorized representative on your behalf. We recommend starting the attestation process early, as processing times may vary depending on your country and authority.

According to Resolution No. 107 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 4 February 2023, during the period of martial law and for six months after its termination or cancellation, documents issued or certified in the territory of foreign states by an authority or a duly authorized person within their competence, in the prescribed form and bearing an official seal, shall be accepted in the territory of Ukraine without special certification (consular legalization, apostille, etc.), provided that as of 24 February 2022 such documents were accepted in Ukraine without special certification.

Attention: This charge for every kind of visa is not refundable.

Submission of documents for a long-term visa is strictly personal and must be done only at the premises of the Embassy of Ukraine in Lima (Peru), as the procedure includes the collection of biometric data (fingerprints).

Since Ecuador is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, official educational documents must have an Apostille if they are to be used in Ukraine. Apostilles are issued only by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility of Ecuador  (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Movilidad Humana). Apostille services are handled by the Directorate of Legalizations. This applies to all Ecuadorian public documents.

Ecuador provides an electronic Apostille (e-Apostille):

• Application can be submitted online
• Apostille is issued digitally
• Valid internationally and verifiable online

Online services are available via the official government portal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For online applications, the portal serviciosdigitales.cancilleria.gob.ec is used (usually under the “Apostille and Legalization” section).

Important notes for students

• Documents must be originals or notarized copies
• The document must be officially issued or certified by a recognized Ecuadorian authority

Consular fees of Ukraine for citizens of Egypt

Attestation of the documents

Since Egypt is not a Hague Convention country, documents need to be attested by Consular Legalization. This is the official process that confirms the authenticity of your documents from Egypt so that they are recognized by Ukrainian authorities (universities, official bodies, immigration departments).

Consular legalization is a multi-stage process:

• Certification by a Notary in Egypt – to get certified copies.
• Legalization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Egypt – confirms the above is valid.
• Legalization by the Embassy/Consulate of Ukraine – final attestation that the document is recognized for use in Ukraine.

This procedure must be conducted in Egypt (at appropriate authorities and the Embassy/Consulate that handles such services).

Consular fees of Ukraine for EU citizens

Ukraine’s Embassies/Consulates abroad charge $65.00 (basic visa fee) for processing visa applications via regular service. Fees are doubled for all applications filed upon expedited service.

Visa fees for certain visa types for applicants from certain countries might differ from basic visa fee above due to reciprocity principle. You can find the exact cost of a study visa directly on the official website of the Embassy of Ukraine in your country.
We strongly recommend that international students check the embassy’s website for the most up-to-date information, as visa fees and requirements may change.         

Attestation of the documents

Students from European Union (EU) countries can attest their educational documents in their home country before traveling to Ukraine.

Since most EU countries are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention, document attestation is usually completed by obtaining an Apostille.

The Apostille is issued by the competent authority in your country, most commonly:

• the Ministry of Justice,
• the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or
• the designated state authority responsible for document authentication.

The Apostille must be placed on:

• your diploma or school certificate, and
• your academic transcript.

Once the Apostille is issued:

• your documents should be translated into Ukrainian, and
• the translation must be notarized.

The final step (translation and notarization) can be completed in Ukraine after arrival or by an authorized representative on your behalf. We recommend starting the attestation process early, as processing times may vary depending on your country and authority.

An e-Visa is issued as a single-entry or double-entry visa for a period of up to 30 days.
It allows entry into Ukraine for business, private, or tourist purposes, as well as for medical treatment, activities in the fields of culture, science, education, and sports, and for the performance of official duties by foreign correspondents or representatives of foreign mass media.

Attention: This charge for every kind of visa is not refundable.

Attestation of the documents

India is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which means that official documents issued in India can be apostilled and used abroad without additional embassy legalization.

To obtain an Apostille in India, the responsible authority is the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
Please note that documents are not submitted directly to MEA — applications must be made through officially authorized agencies appointed by the Ministry.

Before apostille, educational documents usually require prior verification by the relevant university or state authority. Once the apostille is issued by MEA, the document becomes officially valid for use in Hague Convention countries, including Ukraine.

South Africa is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, and Ukraine recognizes South African apostilles. This means no Ukrainian embassy legalization is required.

Simple steps:

1. Prepare the original document or a certified copy (birth certificate, diploma, police clearance, etc.).
2. Notarize the document if required (for some academic or private documents).
3. Submit the document to DIRCO or the competent South African authority for apostille.
4. Receive the Apostille certificate attached to your document.

Important for students:

• Only documents issued in South Africa can be apostilled in South Africa.
• After apostille, the document is valid for use in Ukraine.
• An official translation into Ukrainian may still be required by your university – it can be done directly in Ukraine upon arrival or by the trusted person. .

Attestation of the documents

Since Tanzania is not a Hague Convention country, documents need to be attested by Consular Legalization. This is the official process that confirms the authenticity of your documents from Tanzania so that they are recognized by Ukrainian authorities (universities, official bodies, immigration departments).

Consular legalization is a multi-stage process:

• Certification by a Notary in Tanzania – to get certified copies.
• Legalization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tanzania – confirms the above is valid.
• Legalization by the Embassy/Consulate of Ukraine – final attestation that the document is recognized for use in Ukraine.

This procedure must be conducted in Tanzania (at appropriate authorities and the Embassy/Consulate that handles such services).
