How to Obtain a Residence Permit Based on Employment in Ukraine

Obtaining this type of residence permit in Ukraine is possible only with a type D-04 visa. To obtain a D visa, a foreign worker must personally submit an application for this visa at the Ukrainian embassy in their country of citizenship or permanent residence. The embassy reviews the visa application and makes a decision to grant or deny the visa within 5 days for expedited processing and within 10 days for standard processing from the moment the documents are received.

The required documents for obtaining a residence permit based on employment include:

• The original passport with a type D visa;
• A translated copy of the passport into Ukrainian with personal data and the D visa, certified;
• A valid health insurance policy;
• Documents confirming employment in Ukraine;
• A document confirming the payment of the state fee.

The documents are reviewed by the migration authorities within 15 days from the moment of submission, and based on the review, a decision is made to grant or deny the residence permit.
