Services for foreigners

Of course, I despise my Motherland from head to foot –  

but I feel disappointed if a foreigner thinks like me.

(Alexander Pushkin)

The Constitution of Ukraine declares that foreigners and stateless persons legally staying in Ukraine enjoy the same rights and freedoms, and bear the same duties as the citizens of Ukraine, with the exceptions set forth in the Constitution, laws and international treaties of Ukraine.

In practice, a foreigner must go through a torturous red-tape before he/she may exercise his/her lawful right for labor and gets all his/her required documents approved, so that his/her stay in the territory of Ukraine is within the limits of the law. Moreover, a visit of a foreigner to Ukraine may be doubtful in case of no visa support. 

As prescribed by law, a foreigner may work in Ukraine as an entrepreneur or may be employed to an enterprise. In case an enterprise invites a foreign specialist for employment, or a foreigner intends to be employed at his/her own enterprise and to receive official salary in Ukraine, such foreigner must have a special work permit. A major difficulty occurring in the course of obtaining such work permit is that reasonability of employment of this very foreigner by a Ukrainian enterprise must be justified, and all paperwork formalities required for obtaining a work permit must be strictly complied with.

It is worth noting that absence of such work permit implies significant penalties imposed on the enterprise employing such foreigner.

Moreover, foreigners must follow the required procedures and rules of migration law of Ukraine, such as having visa for arrival to Ukraine, extension of the period of stay in Ukraine specified in visa, obtaining a temporary residence permit, in case of such foreigner’s employment with a Ukrainian enterprise, obtaining a permanent residence permit, registration of place of residence etc.

Specialists of ‘KD CONSULTING’ legal firm will assist you in developing a correct plan of actions in each individual case, and will help you to complete all procedures required for foreigners employment in Ukraine as soon as practically possible, and to ensure their compliance with all mandatory migration rules and norms.

In case your enterprise intends to invite foreigners for employment or to cooperate with foreign partners on a permanent basis – which implies their frequent visits to or temporary stay in Ukraine, then in accordance with the applicable law such enterprise must be registered with the Office of Immigration and Citizenship.

Only if an enterprise is registered with the mentioned authority, it is entitled to make invitations for foreigners for their temporary stay in Ukraine and for getting relevant visas. 

‘KD CONSULTING’ legal & consulting firm is ready to provide our clients with in-depth consultancy concerning registration of an enterprise with the Office of Immigration and Citizenship, will assist in registration of your enterprise with the Office of Immigration and Citizenship as soon as practically possible, in drawing up an invitation for a foreigner and will render all other associated services.
