Which country is easier for Ukrainians to get a visa for the first time?
We as a whole family (myself, husband and son) received foreign passports, we wanted to send our son to England, but how will it turn out for ourselves. But we ran into problems in obtaining a visa (although we have not yet submitted documents) and we draw conclusions only from the reviews of tourists and tour operators. Advise in which country is better to apply for a visa for the first time, so that there are more chances?

Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, etc. are essentially visa-free countries (a visa for money upon arrival is given to everyone). The question is probably about Schengen.

A visa to Thailand for Ukrainians is MANDATORY .... and you will spend at least 40 minutes getting it ... until you give 200 baht in excess of 1000 official baht (on the paw, so to speak ... for the speed of service) to local "comrades" .. ....

Exactly the same visa is required in Turkey and Egypt. Such visas are opened upon arrival in 99.999% of all, but this is a visa! Written same: opens on arrival. In addition to these countries, simplified visa regime: Croatia, Montenegro, Maldives, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Sri Lanka. And to India, for example, a visa is opened in Kyiv, but without any problems and information. An example about 200 baht... To whom did you give it in Bangkok? Are you confusing anything?

I flew in a month and a half ago .... I don’t confuse ... just filling out all kinds of questionnaires .. both on the plane .. and at the airport ... this is kick-ass .... obtaining a visa in Thailand cannot be compared with obtaining a visa in Turkey ..

The difficulties with writing 10 words in English when filling out a migration card cannot be compared with the difficulties in preparing a package of documents for opening a UK visa (with an unknown result in the end), which is what the TC is actually asking about. At the VKK airport, there are 20 counters for arrivals, it was necessary to see where there is no queue.

Unfortunately, you are wrong ... To receive a call upon arrival in Bangkok .. it was early morning ... Only ONE counter was working ... and a second counter (two hundred battalion) was opened nearby ....)).... Sorry, but you are a little wrong ... I can say with confidence that you are not a citizen of Ukraine ... and most likely received a visa as a citizen of Russia ... and this even happens in another place .... Obtaining a visa by Russian citizens without problems, since EXCELLENT relations have been established between Tai and Russia since ancient times .. especially since Putin paid off the debts of Tsarist Russia half a year ago for the rice delivered to her back in the early 20th century ..

Early morning - 3 hours, Azrosvit flight VV171 :)) Passed the mandatory procedure - one pass for a visa - 2 counters! Over 200 meters are the remaining 19 passages (without a queue). I admit that 1 or 2 of them could not work. There is more order in Tae, this is not Ukraine.

A very exciting discussion, but are there any countries that are loyal to Ukrainians, whose visas can have a positive impact on obtaining a visa to the UK in the future?

You've already asked this question before. You were intimidated by some dunce from TA that your boy will most likely not be given a visa ANYWHERE and never. And you did not even try to resort to the help of another, intelligent and energetic agent. In vain. To obtain a British visa, it is not at all necessary to first travel to other countries. Moreover, you can get the opposite effect by traveling around a bunch of countries with which Britain does not have the warmest relations.
If you still dream of sending a guy to England and Ireland, do not turn off this path, and you will succeed. Just do not start a conversation with the next TA with the words: "Here we were told that most likely they would not give a visa ...". Do not suggest a ready-made answer yourself, but make TA work. Happy travels!

Can somehow link the end of the university with the desire to go to England, something like language courses, internships, advanced training? The consulate may be more loyal, IMHO ... But it is, one of the options.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine recently reported:
"The number of visa refusals decreased from 4 percent to 3.3 percent in 2011. At the same time, a significant decrease in the number of visa refusals by individual EU Member States in 2011 compared to 2010 is noticeable"
cases of visa refusals from France (from 4.4% to 2%), Estonia (from 7.8% to 4.3%), Germany (from 6.3% to 5.6%) became twice as rare . The rejection rate at the Belgian embassy also fell slightly to 7.2% from 7.8% in 2010. At the same time, Slovenia almost did not refuse visas to Ukrainians - only 0.7% of applicants did not receive permission to enter this country last year (2.4% of refusals in 2010).
The number of Schengen visas issued in 2011 compared to 2010 increased by 182,000. 1.1 million citizens of Ukraine received permission to enter Europe.
"Spain has doubled the issuance of visas to Ukrainians (53,000 visas have been issued).
At the Embassy of Greece, the number of issued visas increased by 17 thousand (up to 64.8 thousand), Slovakia - by 13 thousand (up to 40.7 thousand), Italy - by 1.8 thousand (up to 45.8 thousand). ).

From personal experience: in a crisis, Greece issues visas for package tours very loyally.

Good idea. Greece has a very comfortable and friendly atmosphere for relaxation. Greeks used to give visas without snobbery, so it would be wise to start acquaintance with the world from Greece. Go with the whole family, and your son drives to England more than once, he has everything ahead of him. Have a nice rest!

Again you are in some kind of illusion.
First, no one is excluded from anywhere. Till. Yes, and it's not just that.
Secondly, the EU and Schengen are different things.
Your task is to get a positive visa history.

I really don’t understand all these nuances and for the first time I was faced with obtaining a visa, and of course I understand that my main disadvantage is to complain about problems without even starting to solve them, the only thing that stops me is that I don’t want to start trips with refusals, that’s why I play it safe.
