Ukrainian Embassy in Dhaka
The Embassy of Ukraine in Bangladesh is located in Gulshan, Dhaka. It handles D-type visas (long-stay: work, study, business) directly. C-type short-stay visas may also be handled at or referred to VFS Global. For work visa applicants, the D-type application is typically the relevant submission.
The embassy does not have a public walk-in queue for visa submissions. Call or email to book a consular appointment. Response times vary — allow at least 5–7 business days before your planned submission date to confirm an appointment slot.
VFS Global Bangladesh
VFS Global operates as an authorised visa application centre for Ukraine in Bangladesh. VFS handles biometrics collection, document submission, and passport return for certain visa categories. Check current VFS service availability for Ukrainian visas before booking — service scope can change.
VFS does not make visa decisions. They collect and forward your application to the embassy. Processing time runs from the date the embassy receives your documents, not the VFS submission date.

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 is located at:
Bring your original passport, Ukrainian work permit original, employment contract, D-visa, and medical fitness certificate from a BMET-approved medical centre. Processing takes 3–5 business days from complete document submission. The resulting Smart Card is scanned at the airport on departure.
