The Ukraine Student Visa is a long-stay 'D type' visa issued on the ground of study in Ukraine. It is for Indian students admitted to a recognised Ukrainian university who hold an official letter of invitation from that institution and intend to stay beyond 90 days. The long-stay D visa is the basis for obtaining a temporary residence permit in Ukraine after arrival. Applications are made through VFS Global in India; the form is filled at the VFS centre and the Embassy of Ukraine, New Delhi takes the decision. Long-stay applications require apostilled, Ukrainian-translated academic and civil documents.
What it costs
Paid directly to Ukraine / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per VFS Global, last verified 9 Jun 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
Consular fees are published in USD for information only and are PAID IN INR at the Embassy of Ukraine exchange rate — confirm the live INR amount on the VFS Global Ukraine India page before paying. URGENT processing costs DOUBLE the normal consular fee. On top of the consular fee you pay the VFS service fee (₹2,970) and the mandatory form-filling charge (₹2,640) per applicant. If the Embassy calls you for an interview, a video-conferencing charge of ₹3,840 applies. Children under 6 years are exempt from the consular fee. All fees (consular + VFS) are NON-REFUNDABLE regardless of the visa decision.

Frequently asked
You need a long-stay 'D type' visa issued on the ground of study, based on an official letter of invitation from your Ukrainian university. It covers courses longer than 90 days and is the basis for obtaining a temporary residence permit after you arrive in Ukraine.
For the long-stay D category you must show a 3-month bank statement with a minimum balance of about USD 7,600 (calculated at USD 80/day for 90 days plus a 5-day buffer). If you fall short, the inviting party can submit a notarised guarantee letter with its own bank statement, otherwise the visa is refused for insufficient funds.
Yes. Your previous diploma with marks appendix, your medical certificate and your birth certificate must all be apostilled and translated into Ukrainian, with the translation certified by a translator who provides their diploma and signature. Indian-translator-only versions are not accepted for birth/marriage certificates.
Normal processing is usually a minimum of 10 working days and urgent a minimum of 5 (at double the consular fee). Allow extra time for the apostille and Ukrainian translation of your documents before you even apply, and apply well ahead of your course start date.

Your fee, in one glance
Government, VFS, insurance, ticket and hotel costs are separate and charged at cost. Read what each item means, in full.
Before you file
Filed on a guessed checklist, the government fee is gone on a refusal and the refusal follows every future application. Filed after a consultant at our licensed firm has read the papers against each other, the file answers the officer's questions before they are asked. Same Ukraine rules, different outcome. How we do that is written once, in full, on the method page rather than repeated here.
