If you are a citizen of a foreign country, have been married to a Ukrainian citizen for more than two years and wish to reside in our country without hindrance, you have the opportunity to obtain a permanent residence permit through marriage.
This is one of the most common grounds for obtaining a residence permit in Ukraine. When a foreigner and a Ukrainian citizen marry in our country, the foreigner has the legal right to receive a residence permit for one year. To obtain such a permit, you must follow the following steps:
- First, you must leave the country.
- Then, change your visa, as the purpose of your stay in Ukraine changes.
- Return to Ukraine with the updated visa.
- Continue the document processing for a permanent residence permit in the prescribed manner.
Other options for obtaining a residence permit also exist. The example described above is just one of them. A residence permit is also available in cases where two foreigners marry, one of whom has previously received immigration permission to our country. The steps in this case are as follows:
- Obtain a visa for family reunification.
- Legalize and translate the marriage certificate into Ukrainian.
- Prepare documents to confirm the family’s financial support for obtaining the document.
In this case, the residence permit is temporary. Although obtaining a permanent residence permit on this basis is not provided, the temporary document can be extended an unlimited number of times. Our lawyers are ready to provide qualified assistance in this matter, taking on the legal support of the procedure and helping with the translation of all necessary documents.
