Work Permit
A work permit is a mandatory key document for the official employment of a foreigner in Ukraine. It gives the employer the legal right to legally employ a foreign citizen. Our lawyers provide a full cycle of Work Permit registration through the Employment Center, which is the first step towards obtaining a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP). This guarantees the company protection from fines.

Answers to key questions
01
Who is required to obtain a Work Permit?
A work permit is required for the employment of any foreign national or stateless person in Ukraine, regardless of their position. The employer is responsible for obtaining this permit. This ensures the legal use of labor and protects the company from fines for violating migration laws.
02
Required documents for submission
The package includes an application, a copy of the foreigner's passport with a D visa, a photo, and a draft employment contract. We guarantee that each document will be correctly translated, notarized, and will meet the requirements of the Employment Center to avoid refusal of a Work Permit.
03
Terms and conditions for renewal of Work Permit
A work permit can be issued for 1, 2, or 3 years. We help you choose the optimal term and ensure timely renewal. It is important to remember that a Work Permit may be revoked in the event of early termination of an employment contract with a foreigner.
04
Legal consequences of not having a work permit
An unregistered Work Permit entails significant fines for both the employer and the foreigner. This is a direct violation of employment legislation. We guarantee the legal purity of your business, completely eliminating migration risks and financial losses.
05
How is a work permit related to obtaining a residence permit?
A work permit is the main basis for further processing of a temporary residence permit (TRP). Without a valid Work Permit, the DMS will not accept documents for a TRP. We ensure synchronization of deadlines for processing both documents for continuous legalization.
06
Step-by-step process for obtaining a work permit
The process begins with submitting documents to the Employment Center, paying the fee, reviewing the application, and issuing a Work Permit. We take care of all stages, from preparing the employment contract to obtaining the finished Permit, ensuring minimum timeframes for the client.
Legal basis and requirements for obtaining a Work Permit
Obtaining a work permit is not only a necessity, but also legal protection for the employer against significant fines. We explain in detail the legal basis and obligations of the company when employing foreigners. Our services cover all categories of permits, ensuring the legal purity of the process and minimizing migration risks for your business.
Categories of foreigners and types of work permits
Ukrainian legislation divides work permits into several categories depending on the status of the foreigner. These include special categories (IT specialists) and standard categories. Determining the correct type of permit is critical for successful registration.
We advise on all categories and help you choose the type that fully matches the qualifications of the foreign employee and the needs of the employer.
Employer responsibilities when employing foreign workers
The employer bears full responsibility for the legal employment of foreigners, including timely registration of a work permit and fulfillment of the terms of the employment contract.
A mandatory requirement is the payment of wages not lower than the established minimum. Our lawyers ensure compliance with all obligations, protecting the company from administrative sanctions.
Required documents from the employer
To obtain a Work Permit, the company must provide incorporation documents, information about the absence of debt to the budget, and a draft employment contract with the foreign national. It is important that these documents are legally flawless.
We conduct a comprehensive audit of the documentation, prepare justifications for the Employment Center, and take care of the entire application process, ensuring a quick decision.
Procedure for canceling and terminating a Work Permit
A work permit may be revoked in the event of early termination of an employment contract, violation of migration rules by a foreigner, or provision of inaccurate information. We provide legal support for the procedure of terminating a work permit, ensuring that government agencies are properly informed.
This helps the company avoid fines for the illegal stay of a foreigner after dismissal.
