Step-by-step: how to apply from Nepal

1. Confirm the visa type and current requirements on the official portal (https://visa.vfsglobal.com/npl/en/ukr -- VFS Global Ukraine Nepal (PRIMARY intake centre in Kathmandu) -- https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/ukr -- VFS Global Ukraine India (alternate Delhi centre) -- https://www.mfa.gov.ua -- Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa-policy hub -- https://india.mfa.gov.ua -- Embassy of Ukraine New Delhi -- https://dmsu.gov.ua -- Ukrainian State Migration Service (in-country residence permits)).
2. Gather and scan your documents; book your appointment at VFS Global Ukraine Kathmandu (PRIMARY -- Nepal direct centre) + VFS Global Ukraine New Delhi (alternate) or start the online form.
3. Prepare proof of onward travel and accommodation — many applicants use Yatra's verifiable reservations rather than buying non-refundable bookings before approval.
4. Pay the visa fee, submit (and give biometrics if required), then track your application.
