Stages of obtaining a residence permit
Obtaining a residence permit (temporary residence permit) in Ukraine requires strict compliance with all legal procedures. The procedure begins with obtaining a work permit and, if necessary, a D visa. Our company offers step-by-step legal support, ensuring the correct preparation of documents and timely submission to the State Migration Service (SMS). This ensures the legal stay and employment of a foreigner, avoids mistakes, and speeds up the process.
6 key steps for obtaining a temporary residence permit (TRP)
01
Obtaining a Work Permit
This is the first and most important step. A work permit is the main legal basis for further processing of a residence permit. We prepare and submit documents to the employment center, ensuring quick receipt of a work permit for your foreign employee.
02
Opening a Work Visa D (Type D-01)
If a foreigner arrives from a country with a visa regime (for example, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), a D visa is required. We help to arrange an invitation and provide consular support to successfully obtain a long-term visa for entry.
03
Border Crossing and Migration Registration
After entering Ukraine, a foreigner must register with the immigration authorities within 30 days and register at their place of residence. We ensure that the registration is completed correctly and monitor the deadlines to avoid violations.
04
Preparation and translation of a complete set of documents
At this stage, our lawyers prepare notarized translations of your passport, work permit, and other necessary documents. The accuracy of the documents is key to success, so we check every letter before submitting it to the State Migration Service.
05
Submission of documents to the State Migration Service (SMS)
We organize the submission of documents for a residence permit to the territorial body of the State Migration Service. Our specialist accompanies the foreigner, ensuring that the procedure complies with the requirements of the law. This minimizes bureaucratic delays and the risk of rejection.
06
Obtaining a Temporary Residence Card (TRC)
The final stage is obtaining the final permit (TRC). We monitor the processing time and verify the accuracy of the information on the plastic card. With this document, a foreigner can legally work and reside in Ukraine.
Common mistakes that lead to refusal of a residence permit
The process of obtaining a residence permit requires absolute legal accuracy. Even minor errors when applying for a residence permit can result in refusal by the State Migration Service, deportation, or significant fines for the employer. Our lawyers analyze each stage in detail to ensure the legal security of the legalization process.
Violation of critical deadlines for submitting documents
The most common mistake is failure to comply with the 30-day application deadline after a foreigner's arrival in Ukraine. Missing this critical date automatically results in an administrative fine being imposed on the foreigner and calls into question the possibility of extending their legal stay. We strictly control the timing of each stage, ensuring timely submission to avoid sanctions.
Invalidity or incorrect execution of constituent documents
Often, refusal of a residence permit is caused by inconsistencies in the employer's constituent documents or errors in notarized translations. Any inaccuracy in the passport or application renders the entire package legally invalid.
Our experts conduct a preliminary audit of all documents, minimizing bureaucratic risks and ensuring their perfect compliance with the requirements of the State Migration Service.
Absence or non-compliance with a Work Permit
A residence permit is issued exclusively on the basis of a work permit for a foreigner. If a work permit has not been issued or its validity period does not correspond to the requested period of residence, this is a direct grounds for refusal. We ensure the simultaneous processing of both documents, avoiding legal conflicts and guaranteeing the legal compliance of the grounds for legalization.
