Applying for a Ukraine Visa from Munshiganj

Munshiganj, near Dhaka, has a high rate of overseas migration. Despite being close to the capital, there is no Ukrainian embassy in Munshiganj — applications are submitted in Dhaka. Prepare documents locally and attend the Dhaka embassy / VFS appointment.

In short: Munshiganj applicants do the local steps at home (passport, police clearance, BMET) and then submit the Ukraine visa in Dhaka — the only place in Bangladesh with a Ukrainian Embassy and VFS Global centre.

Where Munshiganj applicants submit

There is no Ukrainian consular service in Munshiganj. All Ukraine visa applications in Bangladesh are submitted through the Ukrainian Embassy and VFS Global in Dhaka. Plan for at least one trip to Dhaka for biometrics and document submission.

02

Police Clearance Certificate

Apply through your local police / district Special Branch. The PCC later needs consular legalisation (not apostille) for use in Ukraine.

03

BMET registration & training

Book the VFS Global appointment yourself, then travel to Dhaka for biometrics and submission. Keep originals and your own money — do not hand documents to a local fixer.

Munshiganj — local scam warning

Munshiganj’s closeness to Dhaka does not make agents there safer. Verify every Ukrainian employer independently and pay only official, receipted fees — never a large cash advance for a “guaranteed” permit.
