Work permit in Ukraine: features of obtaining it
According to the current legislation, a tourist who has arrived on the territory of Ukraine can stay in the country for the entire period specified in the visa, but no more than 90 days when such a document is not available. During this time, he does not have the right to employment and, in general, to perform any paid activity.
If the state authorities find a violation of the established rules, the foreigner is deported, and the employer who accepted him to work is taxed with a fine.
In order to avoid all troubles, it is necessary to obtain a work permit in Ukraine in a timely manner. Issuance of such a right is a rather long and complicated procedure. Many experts attribute this to the fact that in this way the state wants to protect the domestic market from labor competition. Therefore, if you are faced with a situation where you need to apply for a work permit for foreigners, this process can put even a very experienced immigrant at a standstill. Collection of documents and widespread bureaucracy often take a lot of time. In this article, we will deal with how to get a work permit and how it happens in accordance with current legislation.
Issuing a work permit for foreign citizens: important features
For any foreigner, getting a work permit is just as important as having an identity document. Without a doubt, the main motivations of non-residents for employment in our country are the opportunity to earn and obtain grounds for legal presence. This is an official confirmation that a person can work for a long time and effectively in the country without claims from the state.
An employment permit for foreigners in Ukraine is issued by the applicant himself or by the employer who wishes to hire him. The latter has the right to issue a permit at the Employment Center at the place of business activity for the employment of a foreign person. The terms of the received document vary from six months to 3 years with the possibility of further extension. At the same time, the employer can be a private entrepreneur or a company with any organizational and legal form.
Despite the fact that non-residents can obtain a work permit in Ukraine, resident citizens still have the priority right to employment.
Who does not need a work permit in Ukraine?
According to current laws, foreign nationals do not need a work permit if they fall under a certain status, such as:
● Representatives and employees of foreign mass media - journalists, commentators, etc., who visit the country for work purposes.
● Athletes and artists who arrived for competitions, with tours, etc.
● Teachers who are invited to local universities for the purpose of education - conducting lectures, seminars, conferences, etc.
● Foreign persons who received a permanent residence permit in Ukraine.
● Persons with refugee status.
● Foreigners who need additional protection, including political protection.
● Airline and merchant fleet personnel arriving temporarily prior to scheduled departure.
● Employees of emergency and rescue services who arrived in the country to perform work related to natural disasters, accidents, etc.
● Employees of foreign companies registered on the territory of Ukraine.
Religious figures who are temporarily staying in Ukraine at the invitation of religious organizations registered in the country do not need to issue a work permit. This event is coordinated with the body that registered the Ukrainian religious organization. Also, employment of a foreigner in Ukraine is not necessary if he is a specialized technical specialist who participates in the implementation of technical projects at the international level. The list of persons who can stay and work according to their direction is not complete, the entire list is provided in current legal acts and stipulated in international agreements signed by the Ukrainian side.
Work permit for a foreigner: frequently asked questions
Often, before issuing a work permit for Ukraine, foreigners raise a number of issues that require legal justification. Clarifications on all points can be obtained from experienced lawyers who specialize in migration issues. We briefly note the most common:
To get a work permit, do you need an education diploma? This issue is determined by the employer, if a document on education is necessary, it is apostilled in the country of which the foreigner is a citizen.
Is it possible for a foreigner who has received a work and employment permit in Ukraine to move his family. Residence of children and spouses of the person is allowed. They can live in the country, but only if they receive a temporary residence permit.
Necessity of a certificate of criminal record. If a foreigner wishes to issue a work permit on his own, one certificate of criminal record is provided, which can be obtained on the territory of Ukraine.
Is it possible to issue a residence permit? As soon as the right to work is obtained, a foreigner can immediately issue a temporary residence permit for a period of one year with the possibility of extension.
In addition, there are some nuances. For example, foreigners who are hired as managers can work only if they are co-founders of a Ukrainian company or have a copyright on a product that the company wants to use.
How much does it cost to get a work permit?
The cost of a work permit in Ukraine varies significantly. With the independent organization of this event, it may take more than six months to consider the application, but this is without taking into account the time spent on preparation. Any mistake in the number or legal correctness of certified documents can delay the processing of documents and increase the cost of obtaining a permit. It is for this reason that many companies, planning to employ foreign persons, first turn to experienced lawyers. They help quickly and in a short time to issue a permit through the Employment Center, which is currently considered the most convenient and fastest way to legalize the stay of a foreign person in Ukraine for the purpose of carrying out some activity and making a profit.
In the case when a work permit for foreigners in Ukraine is issued through a specialized lawyer, as a rule, his services include:
● Consultations on migration issues.
● Obtaining a work permit.
● Analysis and, if necessary, correction, compilation of a package of documents provided by the company.
● Preparation and representation of the company's interests in the Employment Center.
Obtaining a permit for the employment of a foreigner in Ukraine with the involvement of lawyers
During the meeting with the client, the lawyer first analyzes the documents provided by the client. Based on them, he draws a conclusion about whether it is possible to obtain a work permit in Ukraine. If necessary, the specialist provides a power of attorney template that will allow him to represent the interests of the employer who wants to hire a foreign person. In this case, the lawyer will be able to act on the basis of the client's interests and represent them in the Employment Center at his place of stay. In order to issue a work permit for a foreigner in Ukraine, a lawyer will first of all need the documents of the foreign person and the company that accepts him as a member of staff:
● Translation of the passport, certified by a notary.
● Photos for documents - the size should be 3.5*4.5 cm.
● The draft of the employment contract is ready. If necessary, a lawyer helps to draw up a competent contract, taking into account the interests of all parties and in accordance with current legislation.
● Founding documents of the company that employs a foreigner.
In order to issue a work permit in Kyiv and Ukraine, you need to submit documents and a correctly completed application to the Employment Center - this is the next stage of the lawyer's actions. The Center's employees issue a statement confirming the receipt of documents. Next, the lawyer is engaged in periodic control of the process of registration and obtaining an employment permit. After the document is ready, the specialist submits the final employment contract to the Employment Center, and the client pays the mandatory administrative fee, providing the relevant receipt to the state body.
