Ukrainian Government Simplifies List Of Documents Required For Temporary Residency

Once again, the Ukrainian government has introduced amendments to the Ukrainian immigration rules. This time, the amendments are designed to decrease the volume of documents required for foreign work permits and temporary residency permits.

In relation to the foreign work permit rules, which are governed by Resolution No. 322 of the Cabinet of Ministers "On the Procedure of the Issuance, Prolongation of Validity Term and Annulment of Permits for the Use of the Labor of Foreigners and Stateless Persons", dated April 8, 2009, as of April 17, 2013 the Ukrainian government has removed the requirement to submit an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Natural Persons-Entrepreneurs along with a work permit application. Such extract was required to confirm the state registration of the work permit applicant and the authority of the applicant's representative/signatory.
