A Russian citizen may have a desire to move to Kiev, in connection with a professional or personal life. With such a change of residence, it must be borne in mind that for a permanent life in Ukraine, a Russian needs to draw up special documents.
Instruction manual
1
Decide on what basis you plan to move to the country. Short visits, for example, for the purpose of tourism, Russian citizens can make without a visa. If you want to stay living in Kiev, you will need to apply for a long-term visa or residence permit. The reason for this may be work, study at a higher educational institution, marriage with a citizen of Ukraine, the presence of close relatives with a Ukrainian passport. Also, one who previously was a citizen of Ukraine, but subsequently refused a passport of this country in favor of obtaining another citizenship, can apply for a residence permit.
2
Find a job in Kiev. This can be done remotely using special job search sites, or in person. Take advantage of the right to visa-free visits to the Ukrainian capital and meet with your employers at an interview.
3
Buy or rent an apartment in Kiev. For the first time, you can choose any option that is approximately suitable for you at a price, and then move if necessary. The housing market in Kiev is quite diverse, and in terms of prices is inferior to Moscow.
4
Get a residence permit in Ukraine. This can be done both in Kiev and in Russia - in the Ukrainian embassy. Before submitting documents, apply for a passport if you have not done so before. Prepare a package of papers confirming your purpose of staying in Ukraine. These include documents confirming kinship with the Ukrainians, an official letter from the company where you found work, an invitation to study at a university. When submitting documents, add passport-type photographs to them and a completed application form, which can be downloaded from the website of the Ukrainian Embassy in Moscow. After obtaining such a residence permit, you can officially get a job in Kiev.
