Ukraine has no embassy in Dhaka. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine lists the Embassy of Ukraine in New Delhi as accredited to Bangladesh. In Dhaka you fill in the form on visa.mfa.gov.ua, book a slot and hand in the file at the Ukraine Visa Application Centre run by VFS Global. The embassy decides; VFS collects the file and returns the passport.
Where to Apply in Dhaka — Verified Facts
Checked on 5 October 2026 against the Embassy of Ukraine in India (section “Between Ukraine and Bangladesh”), the VFS Global Bangladesh–Ukraine pages and Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 118 of 1 March 2017. Take the centre address from your VFS appointment confirmation, and re-check hours before you travel. Full details: Ukraine embassy for Bangladesh.
VFS Global Bangladesh — Appointment Booking
VFS Global runs the Ukraine Visa Application Centre in Dhaka and describes itself as the official partner of the Embassy of Ukraine. VFS accepts document submissions, forwards the file, offers online tracking and returns passports after processing.
Booking process via VFS: create an account on vfsglobal.com, select Ukraine, select Bangladesh, choose your visa category, and select an appointment date. Available slots appear in the online calendar. Book as early as possible — slots for morning appointments fill quickly.
VFS does not make visa decisions. They collect and forward your application to the embassy. Processing time counts from the date the embassy receives your file — not the VFS submission date.
What to Bring — and What NOT to Bring
Bring
- MRP passport valid at least 3 months after your planned departure from Ukraine, with two blank pages, issued within the last 10 years (Resolution No. 118, para. 5)
- Visa form registered on visa.mfa.gov.ua, printed and signed
- One colour photo 35 × 45 mm
- Certified copy of the Ukrainian work permit from the State Employment Service (DSZ) (para. 8)
- Medical insurance with at least €30,000 cover
- Bank statement or other proof of sufficient funds, or of lawful income in Ukraine
- Consular fee payment receipt
- Police Clearance Certificate from Bangladesh Police: only if the consul requests it (para. 10); if so, with an apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh
Do Not Bring
- Food or drinks — not permitted inside the application centre
- Bags larger than small handbag/document folder — many centres have bag storage restrictions
- Photocopies as substitutes for originals — always bring originals and copies together
- Documents that are not on the checklist — submitting unrequested documents can slow processing
- More than one person per appointment — do not bring additional family members unless they have their own appointment
Originals and copies: Bring originals of your identity documents together with copies. The work permit is filed as a certified copy (Resolution No. 118, para. 8). Confirm the current checklist for your visa category with VFS before the appointment.
What to Expect at the Visa Window
The VFS application process for Ukrainian D-type visas typically follows this sequence:
Check-in and queue number
Arrive 10–15 minutes before your appointment. Check in at the reception desk with your appointment confirmation and passport. You will be assigned a queue number.
Document review at the counter
The VFS officer reviews your document package for completeness and correct format. They will flag missing or incorrectly prepared items at this stage. If documents are incomplete, you may need to reschedule — this is why pre-submission document review matters.
Submission at the counter
The VFS officer accepts the file and any items the VFS document list asks for. Follow the instructions given at the centre for your visa category.
Fee payment and receipt
The consular fee and VFS service fee are paid here if not already done online. Keep your payment receipt — you will need it when collecting your passport.
Application reference and tracking
You receive an application reference number to track status online via the VFS portal. The embassy has up to 10 working days from receipt of your file to decide (up to 30 if additional checks are needed).
Passport collection
Your passport is returned — with visa if approved — at the VFS centre or via courier. Confirm the collection method at the time of submission. VFS charges a separate passport delivery fee for courier return.
BMET Dhaka
The Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) head office is in Dhaka. Workers must obtain BMET Smart Card clearance before departure. The main BMET office:
Bring your passport with the D-visa, the work permit copy, the employment contract and the medical fitness certificate from a BMET-approved medical centre. Clearance includes the mandatory three-day pre-departure orientation; check current processing times with BMET. The resulting Smart Card is scanned at the airport on departure.
