Important to know

Different grounds for obtaining a residence permit in Ukraine


In general the most common grounds for issuance of the residency permit are:

  • employment of a foreign citizen in Ukraine which includes cases of employment by a representative office of foreign company duly registered in our country as well as establishment of one’s own company for doing business in Ukraine (employment as its CEO);

  • marriage with citizen of Ukraine (either male or female) or other kinship with Ukrainians;

  • kinship with a foreign citizen who stays in Ukraine based on legal grounds provided by Ukrainian laws;

There are other grounds which allow a foreign citizen to stay in Ukraine for extended periods of time. Registering a company and being employed as a director is the most common option for those who do not have relatives or a job in Ukraine but want to move here. Cost of a residence permit will vary depending on your situation.

We will review your situation and find the option that works best for you.


FAQ

A D visa is the same as a residence permit?
No. Visa D gives only the right to stay in Ukraine for 90 days. After that, the foreigner will have to go abroad of Ukraine. D Visa is one of the stages of registration of residence permit.
Can I obtain a temporary residence permit first and then change it to a permanent one?
In order to obtain a permanent residence permit, the foreigner must have an explicit reason, which is most often different from the reason for the temporary residence permit.
