Obtaining a temporary residence permit in Ukraine
GET A TEMPORARY RESIDENCE PERMIT
A Temporary Residence Permit in Lviv is an officially certified document that confirms the identity of a foreign citizen or stateless person and grants the right to legally reside on the territory of Ukraine.
The legal basis for obtaining a Residence Permit in Ukraine is the Law «On the Legal Status of Foreigners and Stateless Persons».
Foreigners who have legal grounds may obtain a Temporary Residence Permit in Ukraine if they come with the intent to:
- study at a Ukrainian educational institution;
- take official employment;
- engage in volunteer or religious activities;
- work as a journalist representing a foreign media outlet;
- implement an international project;
- reunite with a family member who is a citizen of Ukraine;
- reunite with a family member who already holds a temporary residence permit, etc.
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR OBTAINING A RESIDENCE PERMIT?
If you currently lack legal grounds for obtaining a permit, our company can still help you find a way to acquire a temporary residence permit (TRP). In such cases, we can offer:
- Registering a business and employing yourself in your own company for two years;
- Assisting in finding a volunteer organization that can register you as a volunteer,
- which qualifies as grounds for obtaining a one-year permit;
- Helping you find a university where you can enroll, allowing you to reside in Ukraine during your studies.
Polish citizens who want to officially work in Ukraine do not need a work permit. This is a mirror decision adopted by the Ukrainian government in response to Poland canceling work permits for Ukrainians on its territory.
How long is the Temporary Residence Permit valid?
The validity period of the permit depends on the basis under which it is issued. For example, a permit granted based on marriage is valid for one year (with the possibility of extension), whereas a student permit is valid for the duration of the study program - potentially 4 to 5 years.

In Ukraine, the authority responsible for legalizing foreigners and issuing residence permits is the State Migration Service of Ukraine. To obtain a TRP, you must contact the relevant SMS office in your region.
