Red flags
RF01Agent claims to have a "special processing channel" or personal contacts at the Ukrainian Embassy
RF02Visa is reportedly delivered to your home or via courier without any consular appointment
RF03The visa sticker appears different from the official Ukrainian visa format shown on the MFA website
RF04Agent charges a fee significantly above the published official Ukrainian consular fee
RF05Agent promises a guaranteed visa date or a decision faster than the legal terms: the embassy decides within up to 10 working days (up to 30 with additional checks), and urgent processing at a double consular fee takes up to 5 working days (Visa Rules, Resolution No. 118, paras. 19 and 24)

RF07The visa is provided before you have submitted biometric data or attended a VFS appointment
Legal consequence
A counterfeit visa gives no right of entry: the holder can be refused entry at the border and can face a 3-year entry ban (Law No. 3773-VI, Art. 13, part 3). Knowingly using a forged document is a criminal offence under Article 358, part 4 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
