These are legal maximums for the Ukrainian authority’s own step. Preparing documents in Bangladesh, booking a visa appointment and travel take extra time that the law does not fix.
Where Bangladeshi applicants file the visa
Ukraine has no embassy in Bangladesh. The Embassy of Ukraine in India (New Delhi) covers Bangladesh, and visa documents are lodged at the VFS Global Ukraine Visa Application Centre in Dhaka. VFS handles intake and biometrics; the decision belongs to the embassy.
What this means for agent promises
A real permit can be issued within days, so speed alone proves nothing. What matters is that the permit exists in the employment centre’s records and names your actual employer. We check that before you pay for anything else.
