Detailed information
What is an invitation letter for a foreigner from a legal entity?
An invitation letter for a foreigner from a legal entity (a business or corporate invitation to Ukraine) is a document issued by a Ukrainian resident legal entity. It is required for a foreign national to obtain a short-term type C visa or to enter Ukraine.
The form on which the invitation is issued must include:
-
the company’s name and registration number in the Unified state register of Legal Entities of Ukraine;
-
the document number and date according to the company’s internal documentation;
-
the authorized person’s signature and the company seal, if the company has one.
What is a short-term business visa (type C)?
A short-term type C visa (business or corporate visa) is intended for citizens of visa-required countries who wish to visit Ukraine for up to 90 days.
To obtain such a visa, an invitation letter from a private individual or a legal entity in Ukraine is required. Without a business invitation, a foreigner cannot submit documents to a Ukrainian Embassy, Consulate, or visa center abroad.
A type C visa may be single-, double-, or multiple-entry. The inviting party in Ukraine determines the visa validity period (usually up to six months) and the number of permitted entries, indicating this in the invitation. Regardless of the number of entries, the total duration of stay in Ukraine must not exceed 90 days within the specified period.
When does a foreigner need an invitation to enter Ukraine?
If a foreigner is a citizen of a country with visa-free entry to Ukraine, a valid foreign passport is sufficient to cross the border. However, at passport control a border guard may ask to confirm the purpose of travel. Failure to do so may result in refusal of entry. It is therefore advisable to prepare an invitation in advance and send its original to the foreigner.

Can an invitation be issued by a public association or a charitable organization?
Yes. Public associations (unions) and charitable foundations may invite foreigners to Ukraine. Such organizations can issue invitations both for a short-term C visa and for a long-term D visa, which serves as a basis for obtaining a temporary residence permit when a foreigner is engaged in volunteering in Ukraine.
Can an “invitation for work in Ukraine” be issued for a foreign national?
No. There is no such instrument as a “work invitation.” If you plan to employ a foreigner in a Ukrainian company, you must obtain a work permit for the employment of foreigners and stateless persons in Ukraine.
How long is a business invitation valid in Ukraine?
An invitation has no fixed validity period; it is valid for the dates specified in the invitation for the particular foreigner.
