How the State Migration Service Works During Martial Law. Frequently Asked Questions From Foreigners.

16.04.2022

For more than a month in Ukraine, the war, on February 24, 2022, the aggressor treacherously attacked our country. Thousands of civilians killed and tens of thousands of destroyed buildings are the result of shameful orcish actions.

But despite the war and its aftermath, Ukraine's government agencies are working and providing administrative services where possible.

  As of the end of April, the State Migration Service in Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast will start providing services for foreigners in Ukraine.

We have collected frequently asked questions that are currently facing foreign nationals and will consider the answers of the migration service to them.

  1. What to do to foreigners whose term of stay has expired or is coming to an end? In this part of the registration of foreigners, everything is unchanged. The procedure for extending the stay remains the same, you need to form a package of documents and submit them to the migration service. There will be no administrative liability for violation of the period of stay in Ukraine. Detailed design information is available on this page.  
  2. What to do if the temporary or permanent residence permit expires? The foreigner is in Ukraine. You need to apply to the migration service with a request to renew the certificate. If the State Migration Service in Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast is not currently accepting documents, you can contact the migration service in another region or wait for the offices in Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast to resume. There will be no administrative liability for delaying the validity of the certificate. Detailed information on the extension of the temporary certificate and the exchange of a permanent residence permit is available on this website at the links.
  3. If a foreigner has gone abroad without a certificate (the certificate is in the migration service, etc.) or the certificate has expired while the foreigner is abroad? Entry into Ukraine is possible only based on a new visa. A foreigner must apply to the Consular Section of the Embassy of Ukraine Abroad for a type D visa.
  4. Is it possible to apply for refuge now? Theoretically, it is possible. Practically - we advise you to apply directly to the territorial body of the State Migration Service at the place of location - for advice. You can also call the hotline at those territorial bodies or units of the State Migration Service that are located in safe areas where there are no active hostilities.
  5. Why is there still no simplified regime for obtaining citizenship for russian citizens who have long been living in Ukraine? Currently, this issue is on pause due to the martial law in our country and the war started by the russian federation against Ukraine. 
  6. Where can I apply for Ukrainian citizenship? Currently, the provision of administrative services for citizenship of Ukraine is suspended.
