Obtaining a work permit in Ukraine is an important step for legally engaging a foreign employee. Without it, the employer risks receiving serious fines, and the employee risks deportation and a ban on entry. That is why more and more companies are choosing legal support for this process through the “Consultant” marketplace.
Obtaining a work permit in Ukraine
The permit gives the right to officially employ a foreign citizen in Ukraine. It is issued by the territorial employment center and is tied to a specific position and employer. The most common situations when a permit is required:
- hiring a citizen of a non-EU country;
- continuing cooperation with an employee after the expiration of the previous permit;
- changing the employer or position of a foreigner in Ukraine.
Depending on the grounds, the permit may be issued for a period of six months to three years with the possibility of extension.
Issuing a work permit in Ukraine for foreigners
The application procedure involves submitting an application to the employment center, paying the state fee, preparing and submitting a package of documents. A refusal is possible even due to minor errors in the documents, so it is worth entrusting this to professionals. The lawyers of the marketplace “Consultant” know all the typical mistakes and take into account the nuances of a specific situation.
It is also important to know that after receiving the permit, the employer is obliged to conclude an employment contract with the foreigner and submit confirmation to the employment center. Otherwise, the permit will be canceled.
