Does anyone know a good lawyer that can help? I think there has been a mistake.What I know:When I left Borispol last Jan they said I had overstayed by around a month (I can't remember exactly but it was definitely less than 2 months). I was told ...
Hello AllIt's "Mr Michael" here..... Before I relay my news, perhaps someone can tell me what an "ukie" is ? It doesn't sound very respectful whatever it is.So my ban got annulled yesterday and I'm free to enter Ukraine as before.Turns out it had ... Read More

Finally, the link you provided was to a lawyer I was looking at and started talking to. Might still use him but my wife thinks he wants $500 to send our docs to the appropriate places which she's already done.To us seems like a reasonable amount of ... Read More

Thanks MartinUnfortunately, the Ukr Consulate here is so overwhelmed that it can't service the needs of its own citizens never mind foreigners like me. Understandable I guess as the Ukr population has increased massivly recently for obvious ... Read More

Good advice thanks. I'll use it if I do go down the lawyer route.To be honest even though it looked good, I was slightly cautious as found it through a web search.Am I allowed to post a link to his website so others can help by performing basic due ... Read More

So I've found out a bit more. My wife rang a few official hotline numbers in Ukraine and also from reading the refusal letter we need to appeal which means sending in copies of all the relevant documents (passport, refusal, proof of overstay debt ... Read More

Thanks Greg. Perhaps you could PM the details? This is still not solved. I've never done anything wrong (other than the 4 week overstay). I just can't understand it.We've tried calling the official numbers but they rarely pick up and when they do ... Read More

Ukraine conflict by martinodesa
I am writing from Odesa Ukraine, yes i am still here, and so are a few other friends. At 5 am Kiev time Russia decided to invade Ukraine, with the threat that if any country interferes, they will be annihilated, which i guess means he will nuke ...
Yes good luck Martin, BeHealthy and anyone else still in Ukraine. We have two 4 year olds and even though I thought 3 weeks ago there was only a small chance of this invasion we got them out. Mind you, with Putin's latest comments about any ... Read More

There are "ethnic russians" all over the country but agree more so to the east and far less to the west of Kyiv. My in-laws probably don't count but like many, many familes there is a russian great grandfather and all of the family ... Read More
British expat in Ukraine - consequences of Russian invasion? by Guest123078
I been living in Kharkov, Ukraine for seven years and have an indefinite stay visa. Anyone know what are the likely consequences for British expats if Russia does invade Ukraine?
Russia grabbed Crimea in 2014 because it's too easy to take, and Crimea has a very important strategic value in the Black Sea! Russia's Black Sea fleet is based in Crimea even after the dissolution of the USSR! The way it was going, ... Read More

I'm in Kyiv. We're also wondering what we should do if anything. I agree the liklihood of full scale invasion including Kyiv is small. A further incursion or formally taking ground currently being fought over in the E/SE part of the country ... Read More

I'll be applying for a D visa in a few weeks. Unfortunately from the UK it costs about 拢1500 which is about $2000. I don't blame Ukraine for that as it is based on the ridiculously high charges we make to Ukranians wanting to settle in ... Read More
