Residence permit in Ukraine through the purchase of real estate: how does it work?
In Ukraine, foreigners have the opportunity to obtain a residence permit by investing in the country's economy, in particular by purchasing real estate. This mechanism is becoming increasingly popular among investors who plan to live, work or do business in Ukraine on legal grounds.
How does the purchase of real estate provide grounds for a permit?
The purchase of an apartment, house or other real estate does not provide an automatic right to reside in Ukraine. At the same time, if a foreigner invests at least $ 100,000 in the country's economy (including by purchasing real estate through a Ukrainian company), he has the right to submit documents for obtaining a permanent residence permit.
To do this, the investment must be registered in accordance with Ukrainian legislation - as a foreign investment in the authorized capital of a legal entity.
Algorithm of actions: from purchase to permit
To exercise the right to a permit through the purchase of real estate, a foreigner must go through several stages:
- Registration of a company in Ukraine - a foreigner creates a legal entity (usually an LLC) in which he makes an investment.
- Depositing funds into the LLC account - the investment amount must be at least 100,000 USD.
- Purchase of real estate - the company purchases an object that will be part of an investment project.
- Obtaining an immigration permit - submitted to the State Migration Service.
- Issuing a residence permit - after approval of the immigration permit, the foreigner submits an application for a permit.
Each of these stages requires legal accuracy and support, because errors in documents or incorrect interpretation of the investment status can lead to a refusal.
What documents are needed?
To obtain a residence permit through the purchase of real estate, a foreigner must prepare:
- Passport (with translation into Ukrainian);
- Certificate of no criminal record;
- Documents confirming the investment;
- Articles of association of the LLC;
- Real estate purchase and sale agreement;
- Extract from the state register;
- Receipts for payment of state fees;
- Application and photo.

All documents must be correctly executed and submitted in accordance with the established procedures.
