UK in Ukraine

The British Embassy promotes the United Kingdom's interests in Ukraine and closer relations between our two countries. This includes building extensive and mutually beneficial ties between our governments and peoples in such areas as trade and investment, education, culture, development and defence. The Embassy also facilitates the legitimate movement of people between our countries and offers assistance to British citizens in need.

Visa Announcement

Due to the high number of public holidays in late December and early January, any customers intending to travel to the UK prior to the New Year, 31st December, are advised to apply as early as possible, preferably before Monday 15th December. The United Kingdom visa application website advises all applicants to apply at least eight weeks before the intended date of travel. Applications may be submitted up to three months prior to the intended travel date. It is unlikely that requests for earlier appointments, outside those available through the online appointment booking system, will be agreed.
