How to get a residence permit in Ukraine?

A residence permit in Ukraine can be temporary or permanent. It all depends on both the applicant's purpose for living in our country and the existence of grounds for obtaining a residence permit. Speaking of a permanent type of residence permit, it is worth noting the concept of an immigration quota. This is the number of foreigners who can come to Ukraine for residence during a year. That is, immigration can take place both within the quota and outside the quota, if the person has grounds for this. Legal support for obtaining a residence permit in Ukraine will be offered by the lawyers of the Prikhodko & Partners Law Firm.

Who can get a temporary residence permit in Ukraine?

So, among those who have the right to obtain a temporary residence permit are

1. foreigners and stateless persons who came to work or conclude a gig contract;
2. persons who arrived to participate in international technical assistance projects (it is important that these projects are registered in accordance with the established procedure);
3. persons who arrived at the invitation of religious organizations registered in Ukraine;
4. persons who came to Ukraine to participate in the work of non-governmental organizations registered in accordance with the current legislation;
5. those who arrived in Ukraine to participate in the work of duly registered representative offices of foreign companies or banking institutions;
6. cultural and scientific figures who have come to Ukraine to engage in the above-mentioned activities.

The above is by no means an exhaustive list of persons entitled to apply for a temporary residence permit. It is quite extensive, so you can read it in more detail in Article 4 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Legal Status of Foreigners and Stateless Persons”. Better yet, you can immediately contact professional lawyers who will analyze the grounds for obtaining a temporary or permanent residence permit and will be able to advise you on the prospects in this area.
