Prepare documents for traveling abroad with legal support

Legal Support for Traveling Abroad from Ukraine

Traveling abroad from Ukraine, whether for study, work, family reunification, or emigration, requires meticulous document preparation and knowledge of migration procedures. The Consultant legal marketplace offers professional assistance in preparing documents, obtaining visas, legalizing stays, and other travel-related aspects. Our specialists help avoid legal risks, ensuring compliance with Ukrainian and international legislation. We guarantee swift document processing and a seamless relocation to your chosen country.

Document Preparation for Traveling Abroad

Preparing documents for traveling abroad is the first and most critical step, as errors can lead to visa denials or border complications. Depending on the travel purpose (work, study, immigration), different document packages are required. Key preparation steps include:

1. Document Collection: Gathering passports, birth or marriage certificates, criminal record certificates, or medical certificates.
2. Document Legalization: Affixing an apostille on documents required for international recognition under the 1961 Hague Convention.
3. Notarized Translation: Translating documents into the destination country’s language with notarized certification.
4. Requirement Consultation: Analyzing specific requirements of consulates or immigration services, such as financial guarantees or insurance.

Our lawyers verify documents for compliance with standards of foreign institutions, such as EU consulates or WES Canada, and ensure timely submission. We also advise on document preparation for children traveling with one parent.

Legal Assistance in Obtaining Visas for Travel

Obtaining a visa is a key step for legal travel abroad, whether it’s a tourist, work, or immigration visa. Each country has its own document requirements, and errors in applications can lead to refusals. Our services include:

• Visa Type Selection: Assistance in choosing the appropriate visa (D, C, student, work) based on travel purpose.
• Application Preparation: Drafting visa applications and motivation letters per consulate requirements.
• Interview Scheduling: Organizing document submission and appointments at visa centers or consulates.
• Appealing Refusals: Preparing appeals for visa denials, including analyzing reasons and correcting errors.

Consultant’s specialists collaborate with visa centers and consulates to ensure documents meet the requirements of countries like Poland, Germany, or Canada. We also provide guidance on simplified procedures for Ukrainians during wartime, such as temporary protection in EU countries.

Support for Legalizing Stay Abroad

After traveling abroad, legalizing your stay is crucial to avoid fines or deportation. This may involve obtaining a residence permit, registering with local authorities, or accessing social benefits. Key legalization aspects include:

• Residence Registration: Assistance with registering your place of residence in the destination country’s municipality.
• Insurance Arrangement: Selecting medical insurance that meets the country’s requirements.
• Tax Matters: Guidance on obtaining a taxpayer identification number and fulfilling tax obligations.
• Work Permits: Support in obtaining work permits or setting up a business abroad.

Our experts assist with integration programs, such as language courses or refugee programs, and advise on immigrants’ rights and obligations in countries like the Czech Republic or the Netherlands. We also help with family reunification or refugee status applications.

Specifics of Men’s Travel Abroad in 2025

In 2025, men’s travel abroad from Ukraine remains restricted due to martial law, as per the Law of Ukraine “On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization.” Men aged 18 to 60 subject to mobilization can travel only with valid grounds, such as accompanying children, caring for persons with disabilities, or obtaining permission from the Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC). Our lawyers provide consultations on travel conditions, assist in preparing necessary certificates (e.g., from medical or social services), and support obtaining TRC permissions to ensure legal border crossing. We also advise on temporary travel for volunteering or study programs, which may be available in specific cases.

Important! Please note: before traveling, verify restrictions outlined in the Law of Ukraine “On the Procedure for Exit from Ukraine and Entry into Ukraine of Ukrainian Citizens.” For instance, travel may be restricted for individuals with debts, criminal convictions, or access to state secrets!
