Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to obtain a permit or license in Ukraine?
The cost depends on the permit type, issuing authority, and whether a state duty applies, ranging from a fixed administrative fee to a percentage-based license payment; some permits (e.g., LLC registration on a model charter via Diia) are issued free of state duty.

What documents are required to apply for a permit in Lviv?
Typically required are an application form, an extract from the Unified State Register (USR/EDR), identification documents, proof of ownership or lease of the relevant premises, and permit-specific technical or professional documentation, submitted through a TsNAP (Administrative Service Center), Diia, or directly to the licensing authority. The exact list varies by permit type and is confirmed during a consultation.
How long does it take to obtain a permit in Ukraine?
Processing time typically ranges from several working days to one month depending on the permit category and issuing body, with some declarative permits issued within 10 working days and simple registration actions, such as LLC registration via Diia, completed within about 24 hours. Statutory silence-is-consent rules apply to certain declarative permits under Ukrainian law.
Can a foreigner or non-resident obtain a business permit in Ukraine?
Yes, foreigners and non-residents can obtain most business permits and licenses in Ukraine, either personally using their passport and, where applicable, a State Migration Service (SMS/DMS)-issued residence document, or remotely through a notarized power of attorney authorizing a Ukrainian representative or lawyer. Zakon Lviv handles the full process, including USR/EDR filings and TsNAP submissions, on behalf of foreign clients.
Which authority issues permits and licenses in Ukraine?
Permits and licenses are issued by different bodies depending on the activity: TsNAP (Administrative Service Centers) and state registrars handle most business and construction permits, the State Migration Service handles foreigner-related permits, Ukrpatent (UANIPIO) handles trademark and IP registrations, and the Ministry of Justice handles NGO and charity registration. Zakon Lviv identifies the correct authority and manages the filing for you.
