DEPARTURE TO A PERMANENT PLACE OF RESIDENCE ABROAD

Reading time: 3 min.

In order to go abroad on a permanent residence, you need to take care of the preparation of a package of necessary documents. This issue is resolved in the territorial division of the State Internal Revenue Service. You can apply for such documents both personally and with the help of your legal representative.

Departure to a permanent place of residence abroad: what documents are provided?

First of all, you need to write and submit an appropriate application. 3 photos are attached to it. Their size should be 3.5 by 4.5 centimeters. When you go to the State Migration Service unit, in addition to the original documents mentioned in the list below, you need to take their copies. So, this is:

  • passport of a citizen of Ukraine;
  • certificate of registration;
  • if the documents are submitted by a representative, he must bring his own document with which he can prove his identity;
  • the original of the document confirming the authority of the representative.

As for the last point, there are some exceptions. Namely, it is about one of the parents or an adoptive parent. Such persons are already legal representatives of the child, so it is not necessary to certify it additionally. If the representative submits the documents of a child who is between 14 and 16 years old, then his/her consent to travel abroad on a permanent residence must be notarized.

Sometimes there are situations when one of the child's parents does not give consent for the child to go abroad. If the child has not reached the age of 16 and cannot yet determine his own place of residence, such permission can be obtained through the court.

To the entire list of documents that have been listed, you need to add a check that certifies the payment of the fee established by law.

Apply for permanent residence: who should submit documents?

If a person has reached the age of 16, he submits the documents in person. When such a person is incapacitated or recognized as having limited legal capacity, one of the parents, custodians, guardians does it. Other legal representatives may also join.

Further, the territorial division of the State Internal Revenue Service must inform the applicant about the outcome of the consideration of his application within 5 working days. And the applicant must deregister the place where he lives in our country. After that, domestic and foreign passports are submitted to the State Department of Internal Affairs, where a corresponding mark is made.

In addition to the above, it is also important to obtain a certificate from the fiscal service that personal income tax has been paid and there are no tax liabilities. This certificate is very important, because it will need to be shown to customs.


The decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to issue documents for a person to travel abroad on a permanent residence is valid for 6 months. If she did not apply and complete the documents within this period, such a decision becomes invalid. A corresponding note is made in the application submitted by such a person.
