Every day, hundreds of foreigners come to Ukraine for travel, employment, attending cultural and scientific events, reconnecting family and friendship ties, but for most of them, the trip or business trip ends very quickly.

The advantages of a residence permit are:

Unrestricted stay in the country

without a special visa and regular border crossings
Exemption from constant exorbitant costs

for consular fee payments and purchasing insurance required for every foreigner
Document replacement opportunity

upon reaching the age of 25 or 45 years
No temporary restrictions

for living in the country (no need to calculate 90 out of 180 days from the date of arrival)
Simplified employment

allowing job compatibility and employment.

What is a residence permit (RP) for foreigners in Ukraine?

A residence permit in Ukraine for citizens of Russia and other countries of the world grants rights and opportunities available to all Ukrainian citizens. The legislative limitations for citizens of other states include the absence of mandatory military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the lack of certain political rights.

To quickly obtain a residence permit in Ukraine, it is important to meet specific requirements:

Completely legal crossing of the state border;
Clear personal grounds for issuing the document;
No unresolved criminal records in our country;
The foreigner's passport is valid for more than six months at the time of visiting the administrative authority.

Certain categories of foreigners must additionally confirm the absence of an outstanding criminal record in their home country, as well as prove an appropriate level of health (absence of infectious diseases and drug addiction).

What is the difference between permanent residence in Ukraine and temporary residence?

The legislation provides for two forms of residence permits in Ukraine – permanent or temporary. Both options are equally legal and fully confirm the rights of a foreigner. The differences lie only in the terms of validity, issuance speed, and prospects provided to the citizen.
