The office is in the capital, Kyiv, about 29 km in a straight line from Boryspil International Airport. Ukraine’s airspace remains closed to civil flights, according to GOV.UK travel advice (October 2026).
Holders of ordinary Maltese passports do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period in Ukraine, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine’s entry-regime table (as of 8 June 2023). Ukraine is not part of the Schengen area and applies its own visa rules.

Malta has no embassy in Ukraine. According to the directory of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (October 2026), relations with Ukraine are handled through the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Malta in Valletta: Palazzo Parisio, Merchants Street, Valletta VLT 1171, Malta; tel. +356 2124 2191.

What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Malta and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Maltese citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
