About the honorary consulate in Kharkiv
The honorary consulate of Kazakhstan for Kharkiv is temporarily based in Kozyn, according to the Kazakhstan page of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (Internet Archive copy of 14 September 2026); the honorary consul is Emin Musa ohly Nadzhafli (Ukrainian spelling: Наджафлі Емін Муса огли). Its consular district covers the Kharkiv, Sumy and Poltava oblasts. No opening hours are published; arrange a visit in advance. To do so, e-mail consul.kz.kh@gmail.com.
According to the ministry, the office has moved to Kozyn (Obukhiv Raion, Kyiv Oblast) for the period of hostilities.
The website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine could not be opened directly in October 2026; the details above come from its Kazakhstan page as archived by the Internet Archive (14 September 2026). Check with the consulate before you rely on them.
Kozyn, in Kyiv Oblast, lies about 26 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 Kazakh 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 Kazakh office issues passports and visas?
Passports, visas and other formal consular services for Kazakh citizens are handled by the Kazakh 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 Kazakhstan and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Kazakh 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.
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 Kazakhstan’s national day (16 December) and on other 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 Kazakhstan can contact the Ukrainian embassy accredited there (list of Ukrainian missions: mfa.gov.ua).
