What is required to register a marriage with a foreigner?

If you need urgent registration of marriage with a foreigner, the following conditions must be met:

1. The foreigner must have a valid passport.
2. He must be legally in Ukraine. If a visa is required for entry, its validity at the time of marriage registration is mandatory.
3. If a Ukrainian or foreigner has had previous marriages, you must have a document confirming their dissolution.

When it comes to foreign documents, they must be legalized and translated into Ukrainian.

How long does it take to process an application?

An application for marriage registration is considered within 30 calendar days. This is the general procedure. However, there are legal levers that can be used to speed up this procedure. We know how to do this legally.

What prospects does marriage with Ukrainian citizens open for foreigners?

When a couple gets engaged, the spouses have a natural question about how to take care of living together legally when a foreigner’s visa expires or the opportunity to stay in Ukraine using a visa-free regime (for citizens of those countries with which Ukraine has appropriately built international relations). Next, you need to take care of a residence permit for a foreigner in Ukraine. When your case is supported by lawyers of the Prikhodko & Partners Law Firm, this can be done quite easily, because migration law is also one of the areas of jurisprudence in which we specialize.

Therefore, after the marriage is registered, you can apply for a temporary residence permit in Ukraine for a foreigner. And after 2 years, the option of applying for a permanent residence permit will become available. If a foreigner already lives in Ukraine on the basis of a permit, then you will additionally need to provide a certificate of registration. In this case, it is included in the mandatory list of documents required to register a marriage.

What else should you know about registering a marriage with a foreigner?

The right of foreigners to marry in Ukraine applies to all foreign citizens who are on the territory of our state legally. This means that no additional permits are required for this.

Also, sometimes you can come across a question about whether it is allowed to register a marriage between two foreigners in Ukraine. There are no obstacles to this. The main thing is that they both are in Ukraine legally.
