Before applying to the permanent residency, non-resident should obtain D-visa, which is issued by Ukrainian Embassies abroad for 90 days, if non-resident doesn`t have temporary residence permit. There was initiative by Cabinet of Ministers in 2019 to issue D-visa in Ukraine, but this procedure doesn’t work, we gave interview on that to one of the biggest Ukrainian news provider.
There are countries, citizens of which are not required to get D-visa, such as Azerbaijan, Belorussia, Georgia, Russia, Uzbekistan. Other citizens are required to get D-visa.
Non-resident is required to apply documents for permanent residence permit not later than in 15 working days until the termination of his d-visa or temporary residence permit. The period of non-resident’s stay in Ukraine, which is equal to the period of visa validly, can be prolonged. The precondition of such prolongation is a sufficient proof that litigable purpose for such prolongation exists (such as treatment, pregnancy, care for a sick family member, registration of inheritance, performance of official duties by a foreign correspondent or a representative of a foreign media). The application for prolongation should be given not earlier than 10 working days and not later than 3 working days before the expiration.
After obtaining the residence permit it is required to get registered at some address in Ukraine in period of 30 days. Otherwise, the fine would be applied. The amount of the fine to pay depends on the term of the delay and can increase from UAH 1700 to 5100.
In the case of changing the place of registration, a non-resident should get registered at the new address within thirty calendar days after deregistration of the previous place and arrival at the new place of residence.
After the expiration of the residence permit, a non-resident is obliged to cancel the registration at the address and leave Ukraine within seven days after the expiration. Additionally, a non-resident should hand over his residence permit to the State Migration Service.
