About the honorary consulate in Lviv
The honorary consulate represents Brazil in Lviv. According to the Brazil page of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (Internet Archive copy of 30 October 2025), the honorary consul is Petro Ivanovych Malekh. Its consular district covers the Lviv, Ternopil, Volyn, Zakarpattia, Rivne, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi oblasts. The office hours are Monday to Thursday 10:00–13:00 and 15:00–16:00, according to the Brazil page of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (Internet Archive copy of 30 October 2025). To check before a visit, e-mail pmalekh@gmail.com.
The ministry’s page also gives a telephone number, but it has one digit too many, so it is not shown here.
The website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine could not be opened directly in October 2026; the details above come from its Brazil page as archived by the Internet Archive (30 October 2025). Check with the consulate before you rely on them.
Lviv, in Lviv Oblast, lies about 467 km in a straight line from the centre of Kyiv. Ukraine’s airspace remains closed to civil flights, according to GOV.UK travel advice (October 2026).
Holders of ordinary Brazilian passports do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days 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.
Which Brazilian office issues passports and visas?
Passports, visas and other formal consular services for Brazilian citizens are handled by the Brazilian Embassy in Kyiv.
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 Brazil and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Brazilian 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.

Martial law remains in force throughout Ukraine, according to GOV.UK travel advice. The honorary consulate may close on Brazil’s national day (7 September) and on other days set by its own government.
