Residence permit is  an official document confirming the identity and right of a foreigner or stateless person to reside permanently or temporarily in the State. Depending on the existing grounds of the foreigner’s residence permit it is divided into:

  • permanent residence permit in Ukraine;
  • permit for temporary residence in Ukraine.

The main distinguishing feature between the two types – is their term: yes, permanent residence will be valid indefinitely, while temporary permit - for one year (with the possibility to continue it annually). However, be sure to change both documents when you reach 25 and 45 years.

A temporary residence permit in Ukraine is a document which allows foreign citizens or stateless persons who stay in Ukraine for the period for which the document is issued  to use the same privileges as the citizens of Ukraine.

  • No need to leave Ukraine during the period for which the temporary residence permit is issued.
  • No car import duties on the territory of Ukraine for their own use.
  • You can register yourself as a private entrepreneur.
  • No bureaucratic problems with banking, etc.

To obtain a temporary residence permit, the applicant refers to HMS of the residence with a package of documents. Regarding the specific list of documents for obtaining a residence permit, there are certain nuances.
