Obtaining bridal visa for Ukrainian fiancee indeed is an important and so to say
big issue, which may arise on your way to happy married life with your Ukrainian
sweetheart. Today it is quite easy for foreigners to come to Ukraine.
Citizens of some countries, such as USA or European Union, do not even need
to open visas to come and visit this country. However, when it comes to opening
visa for your fiancee to come to your country, you have to be prepared to face
certain challenges and difficulties. So, let us take a look at what those difficulties
might be and how they can be avoided or got over.
First of all, you should realize that opening a bridal visa for your fiancee
might be a complicated and long process. This means you cannot make fast plans
for getting married with your sweetheart in your own country. The process of
opening bridal visa for Ukrainian fiancee may take somewhere from two weeks
to twelve months and even longer. It all depends on the country of your origin.
Thus, there are two possible solutions to this problem: either you get married
in Ukraine (which also requires certain preparation and paper work done), or
you get armed with patience and step by step go through the whole process.
Now, besides being time consuming, the process of obtaining a bridal visa for
your Ukrainian fiancee is also quite expensive. Again, it all depends on the
country of your origin. One of the countries it takes the longest to open a
bridal visa to is USA and it is most expensive to open it to UK. An average
cost of the bridal visa would vary from 200 to 600 Euro. Most of this money
would go towards covering the expenses of legal papers to be prepared.
You need to bring from your country several papers to initiate this process.
Of course, you need to have your foreign passport and legal bridal invitation
for your lady. She would also need to fill out some papers and to submit a list
of documents to your country's embassy.
As I have already mentioned the process is quite complicated, so you should
learn all the important information and get the complete list of documents required
for obtaining bridal visa for Ukrainian fiancee. You can do it online by visiting
embassy's web site.
After you and your fiancee submit the application form for obtaining the visa,
your embassy will send you both a list of additional documents to be submitted
and the forms to be filled. However, Ukrainian snail mail does not work well.
There is no need to wait for these papers to arrive. You may simply download
them from the embassy's website, print and fill them out, or else you may turn
to a number of companies, which work in this area and provide assistance in
opening bridal visas for Ukrainian fiancees. In this case, of course, you will
have extra fees to cover.
