As you know, all foreigners must have a "foreign work
permit" in order to legally work in Ukraine. Until recently,
all one had to do was simply file the necessary documents and then
patiently wait for three months. However, the Cabinet of Ministers
recently passed Resolution No. 322, which will surely cause
controversy among the foreign business community.
On April 8, 2009, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine passed
Resolution No. 322 "On Approval of the Procedure of the
Issuance, Extension and Annulment of Work Permits for Foreign
Citizens and Stateless Persons" (hereinafter the Resolution),
which will came into effect on May 14, 2009. This new Resolution
has introduced several novelties that are worth mentioning, for
they will surely cause controversy among the foreign business
community.
