Employment in a Ukrainian company

Foreign citizens can get temporary residence card in Ukraine based on employment in a Ukrainian company.

For that, employers need to apply for the Labour office and get permission to employ foreign citizens (mostly known as work permit paper).

Based on this paper, foreigners can apply for visa D-04 and later for a residence card.

If a foreigner does not have an employer who wants to hire him for a job, we propose to create his own company and use his own company for employment.
