Procedure For Obtaining a Temporary Residence Permit in Ukraine

1. Preparation. This is the most important stage. It determines whether your documents will be accepted the first time and whether you will have to spend your limited time on re-registration of documents.
2. Obtainment of the D visa. You need a specific visa to enter the country, with which you will then need to apply for a document. We will tell you how to do this and organize a visit to the consulate for you.
3. Visit to the government agency. If part of the preparation can be done remotely, even before your visit to Ukraine, then you must submit the documents in person. This cannot be done even through the consulate or ambassy.
4. Review of your application. Usually the review period lasts about 15 working days. But these terms may not work during martial law in Ukraine. During the entire waiting period, you can safely remain in the country, because you will have a document on your hands about the review of your application.
5. Visit to the agency to receive the document. This is the last stage, in which you also need to participate in person. Our lawyers usually monitor the readiness of the document for the client and inform you of the time of the visit.

The maximum amount of time should be allocated to the first stage, because you need to have time not only to collect documents, translate them and certify them with a notary, but sometimes also to create the basis itself, if it does not exist yet. For example, open a company, draw up an employment contract or even get married, if this is your basis.
