Every case at UAVISA.PK runs in the same order. A $99 written assessment shows which route is open; a $199 check confirms the Ukrainian employer; a written engagement fixes scope, fee and lawyer. Then come the documents and three state decisions: work permit within 7 working days, Type D visa within 10, residence card within 15.
