Permanent Residence Abroad from Ukraine in Lviv

According to the Law of Ukraine "On Citizenship of Ukraine", the exit from Ukrainian citizenship is granted to persons who are permanently residing abroad. It is important to note that long-term residence abroad does not automatically mean that you have fulfilled this requirement of the state.

The procedure for leaving Ukraine for permanent residence abroad involves going through a special process. Upon successful completion, a stamp "permanent residence" with the indication of the country where the person plans to live is placed in the Ukrainian citizen's foreign passport.

For this purpose, a Ukrainian citizen who intends to leave the country must apply to the territorial body of the State Migration Service (SMS) (the Visa and Registration Department) at their place of residence, if the applicant is in Ukraine. They must obtain a permit, hand over their internal passport, and deregister from their last place of residence in Ukraine. Alternatively, if the applicant is already abroad, they must apply to the consular office.

The permanent residence abroad procedure from Ukraine includes several stages:

• Submission of an application form to the territorial body of the SMS with the required set of documents.

• The district body of the SMS checks whether the applicant over 14 years old has any criminal records, whether there is administrative supervision by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whether the applicant possesses state secrets, etc. If the decision is positive, a stamp and a note are placed on the reverse side of the application form.

• The higher-level SMS body in Kyiv conducts its verification of the collected documents and also stamps and records the decision on the application form.

The consideration period for the application from the moment of submission to the SMS unit is 3 months.

To go through this procedure confidently, competently, and effectively, you need free time, patience, and knowledge of all the details.
