Representation of interests in the State Migration Service of Ukraine

Representation of interests in the State Migration Service of Ukraine

The Migration Service actively opposes the illegal stay and employment of foreigners in Ukraine. At the same time, offenses by foreigners and stateless persons are often a consequence of their legal ignorance, and sometimes even imperfection in the work of the Migration Service.

The rules for staying in Ukraine are violated by foreigners in a number of cases as a result of the failure of the representatives of the State Migration Service to comply with the deadlines for processing the necessary documents. As best case scenario, foreigners are under the threat of a fine, and a temporary ban on entry or deportation at worst.
