REPLACEMENT OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE CERTIFICATE IN UKRAINE

A permanent residence permit is issued to a foreigner for life, but needs to be replaced every 10 years. Replacement of a permanent residence permit is an important procedure, as a person has significant physiological changes in his/her facial features over the course of 10 years of life, so the photo in this biometric card must be identical.
The permit is replaced no later than 15 working days (21 calendar days) before its expiration. The appropriate package of documents for the replacement of a permanent residence permit is submitted upon registration of the place of residence (registration) to the migration service. Today, there are 3 sample forms of permanent residence permits, which are all legal, as they were issued in different periods of time. The legislation of Ukraine provides for a clear list of reasons for exchanging a residence permit, after which a foreigner/stateless person has a one-month deadline for the replacement. A permanent residence permit is issued within 15 working days from the moment of submission of documents for replacement, if the legality of the issuance of the previous permit is confirmed.
Currently, reforms are ongoing in Ukraine regarding the documentation of persons and the legality of obtaining documents for both Ukrainian citizens and foreigners/stateless persons in accordance with the International Standards for the Development of States.
