The Ukraine unit of VFS Global, the visa facilitation company, says it is undergoing unjustified inspections by Ukraine’s tax police. Georgy Shevchenko, company director, tells reporters at a Kyiv press conference that six months of inspections and interrogations are interfering with his company’s work, preparing visas for Ukrainians seeking to study and work in 16 EU nations. In a press release, the company, VEF Consulting Services, says it serves about 1 million Ukrainians a year in 17 visa centers across the country. Many Ukrainians say they seek to work in the EU because corruption retards investment here.
