What is residence permit renewal?

In essence, the renewal of a temporary residence permit for foreign citizens is the confirmation of a previously issued document. The validity period of the renewed document is from 1 to 3 years. It grants the right to freely enter and leave the country. After this, it is possible to lawfully acquire the status of a citizen of Ukraine.

Attention!

You must contact the migration service to arrange the permit no later than 15 days before the expiration of the previous document.

The grounds for issuing a primary residence permit may include:

  • a marriage certificate of a foreigner with a citizen of Ukraine;
  • a certificate from the place of study or work in the country;
  • an invitation from a religious organization;
  • family reunification (children or spouses).

Document package

You must strictly follow all requirements of the State Migration Service and provide the following documents:

  • identity card or passport;
  • four photos of the required format;
  • the original primary residence permit in Ukraine;
  • a copy of the tax identification number (INN) for paying taxes in the country of residence;
  • supporting documents from the previous time;
  • translation of all forms into Ukrainian.

The list may be adjusted in accordance with changes in the country’s legislation.

Note! All photos must be 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm on matte paper. The images should be visibly different from previous ones. Ukraine recognizes the right of every citizen to personal religious beliefs. If the faith requires covered hair in the photo, such a format is allowed. The only requirement is that the head covering must not hide or distort facial features.

Procedure and deadlines for the renewal process

The next important step is to write an application strictly according to the requirements of the State Migration Service (SMS). The form can be found on the service’s official website or at the government office in your city of residence. You must be extremely careful when filling it out, as any mistake or providing false information can be grounds for refusal. The application is supported by the documents from the list and submitted to the OVIR at the place of residence.

By law, the application is reviewed within 15 days, which is why you should not delay filing the application until the last day of the previous residence permit.

Processing services

Staying in Ukraine without an official permit threatens a foreigner with deportation and severing ties with the country. To avoid such problems, it makes sense to contact qualified lawyers with experience in migration law. They will quickly and promptly help arrange the permit without problems and save the client’s time and nerves. The service package may include both legal consultation and full support until the moment of residence permit renewal.

By contacting our company, you can speed up obtaining an INN in Kyiv, translation of forms into the state language and more.

The cost of services is agreed individually and depends on a number of factors such as:

  • availability of all necessary documents;
  • complexity of the individual situation;
  • desired processing time.
