Work in Ukraine for citizens of Nepal

Nepal is a route with a D-04 visa and transit through Moldova. It takes longer than visa-free directions: 10-14 weeks from application to the first shift. In return you travel to a specific enterprise with a signed contract.

The application is free. Nobody at WORKIN charges money for reviewing it or for «a place in the group».

A visa route via New Delhi and Chisinau

Citizens of Nepal need a Ukrainian work visa D to work in Ukraine. Consular matters for Nepal are handled by the Embassy of Ukraine in India (New Delhi), and there is an Honorary Consulate of Ukraine in Kathmandu. The visa application is registered on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal visa.mfa.gov.ua, and it is based on the work permit the enterprise obtains before you leave. There are no direct flights to Ukraine, so the group flies to Chisinau and crosses the border with a coordinator. From application to first shift: 10-14 weeks.
