BEWARE OF UK VISA APPOINTMENT SCAMS

Only book UK visa appointments through TLScontact.

TLScontact is the only official partner for UK Visas and Immigration in Ukraine.

Beware of other websites, companies or individuals attempting to sell UK visa appointments.

UK visa appointments are available for free at the TLScontact Visa Application Centre in Kyiv.

TLScontact also provides some appointments for a fee. These offer additional flexibility or convenience. However, these paid appointments are all optional, and there are always free appointments available at other times or on other days. Please view the Added Value Services page for more information on the fees for these services.

TLScontact cannot guarantee that any appointments arranged through other companies or individuals will be legitimate or accepted when you arrive at the TLScontact Visa Application Centre.

Kyiv visa application centre re-opening: The TLScontact Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Kyiv re-opened on 30 January 2023 for all applications for UK visas that need to submit their biometrics and passports before travelling to the UK.

The VAC will only be open for limited numbers of appointments per day, and may need to close at short notice for security reasons or because of unscheduled power cuts.

Services are not provided during air raid alerts as all staff and applicants must go to the shelter located in the building. The services are resumed after ending air raid alert. All affected applicants will be served in the same day.

You will be able to keep your passport with you after submitting your biometrics.

Please note that if your application is successful, you will need to travel to Warsaw, Poland, to collect your visa to enter the UK. You will not be able to collect your visa in Kyiv.

The visa is pasted in the day of the passport submission in first come first serve. You do not need to book an appointment for this. Please find the address and working hours here.

Ukraine Scheme visa applicants: If you are outside the UK and hold a valid Ukrainian international passport or hold an expired Ukrainian international passport that contains an official passport extension stamp endorsed by the Ukrainian government (including embassies or consulates), you do not need to provide your biometric information at a Visa Application Centre from overseas to apply to the Ukraine Scheme. You will still need to complete an application online and upload a digital scan of your valid Ukrainian international passport, but you will not need to attend an in-person appointment at a visa application centre. Please find more information on GOV.UK.
