- Passport with the required validity remaining beyond return and at least 2 blank pages.
- Identity proof — Nepali citizenship card or NID copy with the application form.
- Financial proof — 3-6 months of bank statements (original, signed and stamped on every page), tax returns where applicable, salary slips.
- Travel intent — flight bookings (Yatra dummy ticket NPR 999 if you don't want to commit yet) and hotel reservations covering the full stay.
- Family Reunion Children purpose proof — purpose-specific cover letter signed and dated.
The application is rejected if any one line is missing or unsigned — there is no partial credit.

### Important notes for Nepali applicants

- Every Nepali-language document MUST be accompanied by a notary-certified English translation — embassies will reject untranslated originals. Use a Nepal Bar Council–registered translator and have each translation notarised by a Notary Public.

- Income proof for Ukrainian visas: ANY ONE of the four Nepal-side income bundles is sufficient (Business OR Salary OR Pension OR Rental) -- no need to submit all four. Pick the bundle that matches your active income source.

- Nepali ordinary passport holders MUST apply for a Ukrainian visa BEFORE travel -- Nepal is on Ukraine's visa-required list. There is NO visa-on-arrival, NO eTA, and NO visa-waiver agreement.

- CRITICAL Nepal advantage -- VFS Global Ukraine has a KATHMANDU centre (visa.vfsglobal.com/npl/en/ukr). Nepali applicants lodge visa applications IN NEPAL, no travel to New Delhi required for intake. Embassy of Ukraine New Delhi adjudicates and returns the visa via VFS courier.

- CRITICAL CAVEAT -- Ukraine has been at WAR with Russia since 24 February 2022. As of 2026, the conflict is ongoing. Tourist travel is NOT operationally feasible in active-conflict regions; western Ukraine (Lviv / Ivano-Frankivsk / Uzhhorod) and Kyiv remain accessible but face periodic missile / drone alerts. Western governments advise AGAINST all travel. Travel insurance commonly EXCLUDES war-risk coverage -- verify policy wording carefully before applying.

- Ukraine is NOT in the EU or Schengen as of 2026 (EU candidate status granted 23 June 2022; full membership negotiations ongoing). Ukrainian visas do NOT confer Schengen entry, and Schengen visas do not provide visa-free access to Ukraine.

### Common mistakes Nepali applicants make on the Ukraine family reunion children visa

The five mistakes below account for the majority of preventable rejections we see on Nepal-UA files. None of them are about the embassy being difficult — every one is fixable with a 30-minute pre-submission review.

- Photograph not to the embassy specification. Most Ukraine missions reject photos that fall outside the exact dimensions (typically 35x45mm or 51x51mm), have a non-white background, show ears partially covered, or were taken more than 6 months ago. Use a photo studio in Kathmandu (Bagbazar / Putalisadak / Naxal) that knows the Ukraine embassy spec — pay the extra NPR 200 for a fresh, compliant set rather than reusing an old printout.

- Bank balance pumped up the week before submission. Embassy reviewers read the 6-month statement, not the closing balance. A sudden NPR 5,00,000 deposit two weeks before submission with no salary or business inflow history flags as manufactured. Maintain a steady balance in line with declared income; if the funds are genuinely sponsored, attach the sponsor's 6-month statement and an undertaking letter rather than depositing into your own account.

- Untranslated Nepali documents. Every Nepali-language document submitted to a Ukraine mission must be accompanied by a notary-certified English translation — citizenship card, employer letter on Nepali letterhead, lalpurja (land deed), municipality registration, audit reports. Use a Nepal Bar Council-registered translator and have each translation notarised by a Notary Public; embassies routinely return files with raw Nepali originals.

- Cover letter that contradicts the booking dates. If the cover letter says you are travelling 12-25 Oct but the flight booking shows 14-22 Oct, the file gets returned for clarification. Re-read the cover letter against every attached booking before submission — dates, accommodation address, sponsor name, and total stay must match across all documents.

- Hotel booking that allows free cancellation but no payment proof. Ukraine embassies increasingly recognise the "book a refundable hotel just for the visa, cancel after approval" pattern. A confirmation showing prepayment (or at minimum a non-zero deposit) carries far more weight than a free-cancellation booking. If you genuinely need flexibility, attach the booking plus a covering note explaining your itinerary contingencies — silence reads as deception.

### After approval — the pre-departure checklist for Ukraine

Visa in passport is not the end of the work. Carry the following on the day of travel — Nepali passport holders are routinely secondary-screened at the entry port for Ukraine, and producing the right paperwork at immigration shortens the inspection from 30 minutes to 3.

- Printed visa or e-visa PDF — never rely solely on the digital copy on your phone. Carry one printed copy in your hand baggage and a backup in checked baggage.

- Confirmed return ticket in your name — Ukraine immigration may ask to see the onward flight at arrival, especially for tourist and visit classes.

- Hotel confirmation for the first 3 nights minimum, with the address printed in the local language where applicable. Immigration officers ask "where are you staying" and a vague answer triggers secondary screening.

- Travel insurance certificate — increasingly mandatory at the entry port even when the visa was approved without it.

- Cash in destination currency equivalent to at least USD 100/day for the first 3 days — immigration occasionally asks "show me funds" and a card or e-wallet does not always satisfy.

- Yatra concierge contact — if you booked through Yatra, save our 24/7 number (+977 970-9066517) for any visa or entry-port issue. We have helped Nepali travellers re-enter Ukraine after secondary-screening flags more than 200 times in the last two years.
