What to do in the event of an e-visa refusal to Ukraine
If you applied on your own for an electronic visa (e-visa) to Ukraine but received a refusal, an immigration lawyer will be able to help you. He has experience of appealing decisions of the visa authorities and will help you protect your rights.
If a foreigner or stateless person has been refused a visa, they have the right to appeal this decision by applying to the authority that examined their visa application. To do so, an appeal letter must be submitted.
The re-examination of the visa application is carried out by an authorised person within a period not exceeding 10 working days from the date of receipt of the appeal letter.
It is important to note that if a decision to refuse the issuance of the visa is taken after the re-examination, the submission of an appeal letter is no longer permitted. It is therefore important to justify your position as fully as possible from the outset, which is best done with the help of a professional immigration lawyer.
