Certificate of Permanent Residence in Ukraine

Despite all the difficulties it has faced recently, our country remains an attractive place to live for many people. This applies not only to citizens but also to foreigners who value freedom, democracy, authentic folk culture, and local people’s friendliness. There are many opportunities for investment, self-realization, building cultural relationships, and happy life.

Given the above, it is not surprising that many foreigners want to move to Ukraine and that our state wants to meet all those who want to live here with dignity and hospitality. A permanent residence permit in Ukraine is one opportunity that opens up sufficient conditions for this. In this article, we will talk about the grounds for obtaining a permanent residence permit and focus on what can be useful to you in this matter, our company’s lawyers.

Permanent Certificate in Ukraine: Form and Features

The mentioned certificate is a special document intended for a foreigner or a stateless person who wants to live in our country on permanent terms. At present, the current legislation determines the form in which such a certificate is issued. This is a special card that has contactless electronic media.

Registration of a residence permit is available to foreigners and stateless persons who have received an immigration permit to our country in the manner prescribed by law. By the way, the legal support of the procedure for obtaining such a permit and related consultations is our law firm’s responsibility. So you can apply for our services and get the necessary information and assistance on quite favorable terms. This will help save time, avoid difficulties and free yourself from the need to understand the complex nuances of current laws and regulations.

It should be noted that the permanent residence permit is also available for those stateless persons who were citizens of Ukraine before its termination but remained to live here. However, to obtain a certificate, one very important condition must be met – the person applying for it must be in Ukraine legally.

Permanent Residence Permit: How to Get It

If the person who needs a certificate has reached the age of 16, they fill in the application form. However, this does not mean that people younger than this age are denied access to such a service. In the case of children under the age of 16, the application is completed by one of the child’s parents or another of their legal guardians or custodians. But in this case, the adult with whom the child lives must also have an immigration permit.

When the above procedure is followed, and the requirements are met, the person receives a certificate valid for 10 years. It takes up to 15 working days to issue, starting from when the documents were submitted.

A permanent certificate for a foreigner in Ukraine results from an immigration permit. Our specialists will help you or your relatives and friends who need such a service to receive it on the most favorable terms and in a simple way. Furthermore, we will carefully clarify all the necessary information so that obtaining a certificate is easy and comfortable for you and does not require a long self-study of the legal framework governing this issue.

If the certificate is suddenly lost, stolen from you or otherwise lost, it can be restored through the territorial division of the LCA (the same institution that issues the certificate).

What Documents do I Need to Submit?

The current legislation of Ukraine stipulates that to obtain a certificate, you must submit the following list of documents:

• passport confirming the identity of a foreigner;
• a document confirming the identity of a stateless person (this is relevant for cases where a stateless person wants to obtain a permanent residence permit in Ukraine);
• a document confirming the identity of the person acting as the legal representative (these are cases where a representative fills out the application form. At the same time, a document must be attached stating that such representation of interests takes place legally);
• translation of the identity document into Ukrainian (also, our current legislation sets several requirements as to how the mentioned translation should be certified);
• a copy of the decision based on which the person received the right to immigrate to Ukraine;
• receipt for payment of the established administrative fee.

It is also possible that a person is exempt from paying such a fee. Our specialists have detailed information on this issue. They carefully ascertain whether the person seeking the certificate does not belong to the privileged categories exempt from paying the fee. We make sure that the interests of our clients are respected even in the smallest aspects of the procedure.

Is it Possible to Refuse to Issue a Certificate, As Well As Its Revocation?

The revocation of a permanent residence permit in Ukraine is one of the issues that worries many people. As a rule, the revocation of a residence permit in Ukraine occurs when inaccurate data or forged documents are submitted. If the certificate has been revoked, the state considers it invalid. The document is removed in the prescribed manner.

There are also several situations where you may be denied a license. For example, this happens when it is established that a person belongs to Ukrainian citizenship. In this case, she does not need additional grounds to stay in Ukraine. Our lawyers are ready to carefully tell about these and other legal issues in the format of consultations and legal support.
