Ukrainian visa

[Dietmar Hochmuth]

Dear Gabriella (privet, BTW), 

You can "buy" an invitation, this is just one more fee and the cake is being
shared between the state and "private issuers" of those needless papers... 
For research you need a business visa and a special business invitation. But
this is all about money: So don't tell anybody and ask/buy a "private
invitation". 

Indeed to go for the visa through a consulate is cheaper than through some
dubious joint ventures of the same consulate and private "kontory" on the
internet... (To get a visa within 3 days from them you have to spend too
much money; they call it "blits-viza")... You can handle this all via FedEx
(without any "ochered'") and within a reasonable timeframe. Same thing as in
Russia, as far as I know: pretty bizarre...

Best wishes,
Dietmar (sorry for my English)

Quoting Natalia Pylypiuk <natalia.pylypiuk at UALBERTA.CA>:

Dear Natalia,
Thank you! I went to the web and found a lot of information. I'm
still wondering, though - do you know what kind of invitation I will
need to get in order to do research? Do I have to make my friends
at the Vernadsky fill something out for me? (I'd rather not trouble
them, of course.)
take care,
Gabriella
