⚓️ U.S. C1/D Visa for Ukrainian Seafarers: Current Appointment Dates

If you are preparing for your next contract and need to apply for or renew your U.S. C1/D crew visa, it is important to plan ahead.

📅 Indicative appointment dates as of 22 August 2026:

🇧🇬 Bulgaria — 26 August
🇬🇪 Georgia — 27 August
🇷🇴 Romania — 31 August
🇲🇩 Moldova — 8 September
🇺🇦 Kyiv — 10 September

❗ Appointment dates can change, and waiting times at U.S. embassies may increase during the summer period.

For seafarers preparing for a new contract, my recommendation is simple: do not leave your visa arrangements until the last minute.

📌 Save this post — you may need this information before your next assignment.

Wishing all seafarers successful contracts and smooth crew changes! ⚓️
