Direct answerThe official fees for a lawful Ukraine application from Pakistan are modest. The Type D visa is roughly USD 65–85; document fees (NADRA, MoFA, HEC, translation) add a few thousand rupees plus per-page translation. If someone quotes you lakhs for a “guaranteed work visa,” that price is the warning sign.
All figures indicative and subject to change. Confirm the current rate with the issuing authority (Embassy of Ukraine, VFS Global, NADRA, MoFA, HEC) before paying. These are official / third-party fees only — not professional service fees.
What these fees do and do not include
The figures above are the fees charged by governments and accredited intermediaries. They do not include legal representation, document courier, or travel. They also do not include any “facilitation” payment — there is no lawful fast-track fee that bypasses the State Employment Service or the Embassy.
Why the price is a scam detector
Because the genuine fees are small and public, a wildly higher quote tells you something. Combined with a guarantee of approval, a request to pay before any employer is verified, or pressure to pay in cash or crypto, an inflated price is among the clearest fraud signals.

Budgeting realistically
For a work route, expect to apostille and translate several documents (degrees, transcripts, experience letters, police clearance), so per-document fees multiply. For a study or family route, the document set is usually smaller. Build your budget from the table above, route by route, rather than from a single agent’s lump sum.
FAQ
How much is the Ukraine Type D visa fee from Pakistan?
The Embassy of Ukraine consular fee for a Type D long-stay visa is approximately USD 65–85. A separate VFS Global service charge applies on top. Confirm the exact figure at booking, as fees change.
What other official fees should I budget for?
NADRA police clearance (~PKR 1,500–3,500), MoFA Islamabad apostille (~PKR 200–500 per document), HEC degree attestation (~PKR 1,000–2,000 per document), sworn Ukrainian translation (~USD 10–20 per page), and a DMSU state fee for the TRP, payable in Ukraine.
Why do agents quote me lakhs of rupees?
The genuine government and third-party fees are modest. Quotes of several lakhs for a "guaranteed work visa" almost always bundle inflated margins or describe a route that does not exist. High price plus a guarantee is the classic scam signature.
Are visa fees refundable if I am refused?
No. Consular and service fees are generally non-refundable regardless of outcome. This is precisely why verifying your employer and document chain before paying matters so much.
Do fees differ for work, study, and family routes?
The Type D visa fee is broadly the same; what differs is the supporting document cost (e.g. a work permit involves more apostilled documents than a family route). The TRP state fee in Ukraine is similar across grounds.
