Obtaining a residence permit by representation
Foreign companies and banks have the right to establish their representative offices and branches in Ukraine. To work in such repoffices (from the representative office), both citizens of Ukraine and foreigners, as well as stateless persons, can be recruited.
All non-resident employees of representative offices of foreign companies are issued by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade with service cards valid for three years or until the end of their employment relationship with the employer. The service card of an employee of a foreign mission is the basis for obtaining a residence permit.
Assistance from specialists of Prikhodko & Partners law firm in obtaining a service card for an employee of a foreign representative office
The receipt of a service card is initiated not by the foreign worker himself, but by the director of the representative office. At this stage, with the support of a lawyer at the Law Firm Prikhodko & Partners, a package of documents is being collected for submission to the Ministry of Economic Development:

a petition on behalf of the head of the representative office with a signature and seal;

translated copy of the passport;

photo according to standard;

documents confirming the state. registration of a representative office / accreditation of a bank branch;

properly executed information about all non-resident workers of the repofis, indicating the time of stay in Ukraine and positions.
Important! Acceptance of a foreigner / stateless person to work in a representative office without issuing a service card entails a fine for the manager and the threat of deportation for the employee.
