What a Ukraine work permit actually costs for a Bangladeshi worker
The real cost is a stack of separate items: the official Ukrainian state fee, paid by the employer (Law No. 5067-VI, Art. 42-4: 3 to 10 subsistence minimums depending on the permit term, from UAH 9,984 in 2026), certified Ukrainian translation of your Bangladeshi documents, apostille/legalisation, medical insurance, and the firm's own service fee — from $150 for work-permit support, quoted in writing before we start. Any agent quoting one large lump-sum "visa package" is showing a fraud red flag.
