Registration and employment of foreign citizens in Ukraine
1.
2. According to the Constitution of Ukraine, foreigners and stateless persons who legally stay in Ukraine on enjoy
the same rights and freedoms and also bear the same responsibilities as citizens of Ukraine - with the exceptions
established by the Constitution, laws or international treaties of Ukraine. This guarantee also applies to the
employment of foreigners and stateless persons. Sound legal basis for the employment of foreigners on the territory
of Ukraine is the issuance of the permit for employment of foreigners to the employer. This authorization allows the
employer to temporarily employ a particular foreigner on a particular job or certain positions.
Preparation of documents required for obtaining employment permit.
Paperwork needed to receive the employment permit for foreigners shall be performed by the employer. In spite
of significant regulation of this procedure by legislation, obtaining such permit is a very difficult process for
employers, which includes preparation of a large number of documents and takes a considerable amount of time.
The decision on granting or refusing of issuance of an employment permit or is taken within 30 calendar days, and
the employer shall be informed of such decision in writing. Our company has been providing professional
assistance in obtaining such permits for a long period of time, and is one of the leading players in this field, which
allows us not only to minimize employer’s participation in this process, but also contributes to obtaining
employment permits for foreigners in the shortest terms.
Obtaining employment permit.
Permit for the employment of a foreigner is issued by the offices of State Employments Service in the
Autonomous Republic of Crimea, regions and cities Kyiv and Sevastopol in the place of registration of the
employer, in case there are no workers able to perform appropriate work, or the employer has sufficient justification
of using foreign employees. Our company has considerable experience in preparation of appropriate justifications,
which set up a legal basis for the issuance of the employment permit to the employer, during a long time of
conducting business in this area, we have not received any refusal.
Registration of the foreign citizen’s passport in the bodies of DCRNP.
Besides, employers who invite foreigners to work are obliged to the employment permit, but also to provide
registration of the passport of a foreign citizen in appropriate migration bodies, namely Department of citizenship
and registration of natural persons, and notify an appropriate Office of State Employments Service of it. Our
company successfully solves all issues related to this registration for you and instead of you.
Continuation of the employment permit.
Permit for the employment of a foreigner is issued for no longer than one year, however, these terms may be
extended if the employer in time, no later than one month before the expiration of a permit, apply to the relevant
office of State Employments Service on continuation of such permit. After the permit has expired, employer returns
such permit to the State Employments Service. We warn you of the need to extend the employment permit in
advance if you wish to continue it.
Obtaining permission to use foreign labor is the basis for a foreign citizen to receive a visa of a certain type,
register his place of temporary residence in Ukraine and obtain a permit for temporary stay for the duration of
employment permit.
3. A foreign citizen who entered the territory of Ukraine on visa-free regime has the right to stay in Ukraine during
90 days within 180 days. For legal stay in Ukraine for a period longer than 90 days, a foreign citizen must:
to extend the stay in Ukraine in the bodies of department of citizenship and registration of natural persons
(DCRNP);
to obtain a temporary residence permit (in case, such foreign citizen has an employment permit)
Extension of the term of stay in Ukraine in the bodies of DCRNP – is a renewal of registration, done by putting
in the appropriate passport stamp, which is sealed by the registration seal and putting the information about a foreign
citizen or a stateless person and their passport details to the appropriate register.
The disadvantages of extended stay in Ukraine is that, the period for which a term of foreigner’s stay in Ukraine
has been extended ends in the moment of crossing the border, this why, an extension of stay in Ukraine is the best
option for foreigners and stateless persons who do not intend to leave the territory of Ukraine for a long period of
time.
A foreign citizen shall apply for extension of the term of stay in Ukraine, no later than 7 days before the
expiration of registration.
We will prepare the required list of documents and guarantee their timely submission to the bodies of DCRNP.
Obtaining a permit for temporary residence
An employment permit entitles a foreigner to work in Ukraine, but does not solve the issue of legal stay in
Ukraine. In the case of employment, a foreigner must obtain a temporary residence permit, which is a document that
confirms the right of a foreigner or stateless person to temporary residence in Ukraine.
Having obtained a temporary residence permit, a foreigner may cross the border of Ukraine without a need for
registration, during the time of its validity.
For citizens of countries with whom a visa-regime is settled, it is necessary to have IM-1 visa, to obtain a permit
for temporary residence.
Experience and formed business processes allow our Company to carry out these tasks as efficiently as possible
in the shortest possible time.

Registration of residence
Within 10 calendar days after obtaining the temporary residence permit non-resident must apply to housing
office by the place of temporary residence and personally fill in an application to perform registration of residence,
the stamp with registration of place of residence is placed on a temporary residence permit. The lack of registration
of residence is a reason for refusing the extension of temporary residence permit. Our company helps you to perform
such registration without your personal involvement.
