Check if you belong to the category of persons who are entitled to obtain a permanent residence permit in Ukraine. These include close blood relatives of Ukrainian citizens, those who previously had Ukrainian citizenship, but who for some reason renounced it, the citizen’s wife or husband, provided that the marriage lasted more than two years. Also, refugees who have lived in the country for at least three years, minor children of those who already have permanent residence, and also foreign investors who are ready to invest less than one hundred thousand dollars in the Ukrainian economy are entitled to this document. In exceptional cases permanent residence can be obtained by highly qualified scientists and distinguished cultural workers.
If you do not fit into any of these categories, you will have to apply for a temporary residence permit.
