PERMANENT RESIDENCE PERMIT
A permanent residence permit in Ukraine is a document that confirms the permanent residence of a foreigner or a stateless person on the territory of Ukraine without limited periods of stay and without limited entry and exit from its territory. A permanent residence permit (PRP) confirms the status of a resident of Ukraine and is issued to a foreigner for life, but with the condition of its renewal every 10 years.
NOTE: A foreigner/stateless person acquires the status of a tax resident if he/she permanently resides on the territory of Ukraine with a permanent residence permit for at least 183 calendar days.
Before submitting documents for a permanent residence permit, a foreigner must first obtain permit to immigrate to Ukraine. Permit to immigrate to Ukraine is a document that confirms the positive decision of the migration service body in further obtaining a permanent residence permit. The immigration permit provides for a successful verification of the foreigner by the authorized bodies and confirms permission for permanent relocation to Ukraine. An immigration permit is one of the stages of obtaining a permanent residence permit. The immigration permit is valid for 12 months from the moment of taking decision. After receiving an immigration permit, a foreigner/stateless person must apply to the Embassy of Ukraine or a visa center to obtain a long-term visa D-01, after arriving to Ukraine and apply to the Migration Service for the issuance of a permanent residence permit. If the foreigner/ stateless person does not apply for a visa to the authorized body within the specified time, the immigration permit is canceled.
Obtaining a permanent residence permit is regulated by the Law of Ukraine "On Immigration", which provides for the grounds, procedure and process of obtaining this document. The procedure for processing documents for a passport includes several stages and a complex structure of verifications.
