What it handles
Consular services, consular legalization and certification of translations. Important: per the official site the Embassy of Italy in Kyiv currently does NOT issue visas because of the ongoing war. While issuance is suspended, applicants living in Ukraine may file for a visa - short or long stay - at Italian embassies and consulates in third countries where they are legally present (the site gives Warsaw as an example, visti.varsavia@esteri.it).
Who it covers
Ukraine: visa issuance is suspended while the consular section works on. Per the official site holders of Ukrainian biometric passports need no visa for EU trips under 90 days, and those fleeing the war fall under the EU temporary-protection directive, which allows a temporary residence permit in Italy. The site also recalls that martial law in Ukraine generally bars adult male citizens from leaving - exit rules are to be confirmed with the Ukrainian border authorities.
Visa centre
There is currently no separate Italy visa centre in Ukraine: the embassy does not issue visas, so filing runs through Italian missions in third countries of legal presence. Check the current status on ambkiev.esteri.it - in wartime the intake channels change more often than usual.
How to book
There is nothing to book for a visa in Kyiv - the embassy does not issue them. For consular services, legalization and translations contact the consular section (consolato.kiev@esteri.it, kiev.legalizzazioni@esteri.it) or call during reception hours: Monday 14:00-16:00, Tuesday to Thursday 09:00-12:00. The booking procedure and schedule depend on the situation - confirm on ambkiev.esteri.it.
Practical notes
Per the community, Ukrainians living abroad file at the Italian consulate of their actual country of residence: a legal basis of stay there is normally required (reportedly around six months before filing plus a few months of margin after, since review can take up to 90 days). Requirements vary by consulate - clarify in advance.
