Residence permit in Ukraine 2021
Citizens of every single country and those who temporary has no citizenship of any state have an opportunity to obtain a temporary or permanent residence permit in Ukraine in 2021. Residence permit in Ukraine enables foreigners not only to stay in the territory of the country for a long time, but also empowers the recipient to make use of almost all benefits available for Ukrainian citizens.
Residence permit in Ukraine, as well as analogous migration documents in other countries, exists in two types: a temporary and a permanent one. In the former case we are talking about a temporary residence permit which is issued for a specified period tied to time (for example, for the period of study, work, business), and in the latter case – about permanent residence, permitting to live, work and study in the territory of the country without time limitation. According to current legislation, having received the status of a residence permit in Ukraine, an applicant has to further replace this permit of stay in the country twice: at the age of 25 and then aged 45.
What are the rights provided by a residence permit?
- Opportunity to start your own business and maintain business activity;
- Possibility to cross Ukrainian border freely and for unlimited number of times without a necessity of getting visa;
- Use of the whole range of state medical services;
- Studying at secondary, specialized and higher educational institutions (a higher educational institution must be duly accredited for teaching foreigners);
- Employment on legal grounds;
- Use of banking products, raising mortgage or consumer credits;
- Aspire to social insurance benefits, including pension payment;
- Obtain any other country entry visas in the territory of Ukraine without going to the country of citizenship;
- Have legal grounds to submit application for the citizenship of Ukraine.
The only right which is not granted to the owner of a residence permit in Ukraine is the right to vote (one cannot vote at presidential and parliamentary elections, however can do so at local and regional elections).
Obtaining of visa to Ukraine does not provide such benefits, however, fully justifies the purpose of the document received. For instance, a visitor visa allows to stay in the territory of the country for 60 days, a tourist visa – enables to visit events and popular locations for the period of 14 days, an employment visa – to get officially employed, and business visa – to settle business issues (one can stay in the country twice up to 90 days in the half year).
