The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has started the implementation of information and telecommunication Visa system, which will facilitate visa procedures.

Ten foreign diplomatic establishments of Ukraine and the Operations Section of the Directorate General for Consular Service of Foreign Ministry at the international airport Boryspil are processing Ukrainian visas by means of this system, the Directorate General for Consular Service of Foreign Ministry of Ukraine informed on the official Facebook page on Thursday.

"This innovation is aimed at creating transparent and open conditions for visas processing, simplifying visa procedures and providing efficient control over visa issuance by Ukrainian consuls," the report says.

According to Embassies of Ukraine in Australia, Vietnam, Israel, Malaysia, Moldova, Poland, Russia, the United States, France and the Consulate General in Shanghai, foreigners already have the opportunity to register a visa application online and set the date for submission of documents to the diplomatic institution of Ukraine without having to wait in line.

"It has been planned to introduce a new registration system of Ukrainian visas in all diplomatic establishments of Ukraine abroad by the end of this year," the Directorate General for Consular Service of Foreign Ministry of Ukraine said.

The Foreign Ministry is finalizing amendments to visa laws of Ukraine which are aimed at creating the most favorable conditions for issuing visas to foreigners crossing Ukraine's border.
