28.11.2025 10:46:27 Yes, the Ukrainian Consulate in Edinburgh can issue an emergency travel document—commonly referred to as a “temporary return certificate”—for Ukrainian citizens who need to travel urgently to Ukraine, including for medical treatment. This document allows a one-way entry into Ukraine and is issued when a passport is expired, lost, damaged, or unavailable. To apply, you must provide proof of identity (any available Ukrainian ID, photocopies, or consular records), a written explanation of your circumstances, evidence of the medical need if applicable, and passport-sized photos. If your passport is lost, a police report may also be required. Processing is usually expedited in urgent cases, but timing depends on verification of your citizenship. We can help prepare your application and ensure all supporting documents meet consular requirements.

28.11.2025 10:56:39 The Consulate in Edinburgh is authorised to issue an emergency travel document that allows you to return to Ukraine even if your passport is no longer valid. This option is widely used in urgent medical situations. The document is valid only for a single journey to Ukraine and cannot be used for onward travel or re-entry into the UK. You will need to confirm your Ukrainian citizenship—any old passports, scans, birth certificates, or consular registrations are helpful—along with photos and a short statement explaining why urgent travel is required. If your passport was lost or stolen, the consulate may ask for a police reference. The consulate prioritises medical cases and can often issue the document quickly once your identity is verified. We can assist you in preparing all forms and supporting evidence so the application is processed without delay.
