About the honorary consulate in Kyiv
The honorary consulate represents Chile in Kyiv. According to the Chile page of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (Internet Archive copy of 12 September 2025), the honorary consul is Mykhailo Illiashev. Its consular district covers the whole of Ukraine. No opening hours are published; arrange a visit in advance. To do so, call +380 44 494 19 19 or e-mail ilyashev@attorneys.ua.
The website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine could not be opened directly in October 2026; the details above come from its Chile page as archived by the Internet Archive (12 September 2025). Check with the consulate before you rely on them.
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 Chilean 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.
Which Chilean office issues passports and visas?
Passports, visas and other formal consular services for Chilean citizens are handled by the Chilean Embassy in Warsaw (accredited to Ukraine).
Chile has no embassy in Ukraine. According to the directory of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (October 2026), the Embassy of Chile in Warsaw (Poland) is accredited to Ukraine: Okrężna 62, 02-925 Warsaw, Poland; tel. +48 22 858 23 30; e-mail echile.polonia@minrel.gov.cl.
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 Chile and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Chilean 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.
Other consulates and embassies in Kyiv
8 other countries are represented in Kyiv: Benin (honorary), Guatemala (honorary), Malta (honorary), New Zealand (honorary), Peru (honorary), Philippines (honorary), Sri Lanka (honorary), Thailand (honorary).
Closing days
Article 73 of the Labour Code of Ukraine lists nine public holidays, among them Christmas (25 December), Constitution Day (28 June) and Independence Day (24 August), but under martial law these are working days (Law No. 2136-IX, Article 6). Martial law remains in force throughout Ukraine, according to GOV.UK travel advice. The honorary consulate may close on days set by its own government.
Emergency assistance
In Ukraine, dial 103 for an ambulance, 101 for the fire service and 102 for the police (GOV.UK travel advice). Ukrainian citizens who need help in Chile can contact the Ukrainian embassy accredited there (list of Ukrainian missions: mfa.gov.ua).
