To work officially in our country, foreigners must obtain a work permit from an employer in Ukraine. In order for all documents to be executed correctly, it is necessary to collect them, translate them into the state language and certify them with a notary. Employment of foreigners in Ukraine takes place after submitting the package and making a copy of the permit for type “D” visa.
Sounds simple and straightforward, doesn’t it? In fact, it is very difficult to do everything right the first time. Why, let’s understand further, and also we will consider the order of employment of foreigners and stateless persons in Ukraine.
Who is issued an employment permit?
To begin with, let’s repeat – foreign citizens can work in Ukraine only with a special permit. An employer who hires an employee without proper registration pays a hefty fine. Therefore, the procedure for employment of foreign citizens in Ukraine should be studied by everyone who plans to live and work here.
As with any rule, there are exceptions to this question. You can not take permission:
- Citizens of other countries with lighting for permanent residence.
- Foreigners with refugee status or immigration permits.
- Non-residents who came to Ukraine in search of protection.
- Air carriers and maritime transport workers who cooperate with Ukrainian companies under contract.
- Foreign journalists accredited in Ukraine.
- Professional cultural figures, athletes who came to Ukraine to work in their specialty.
- Emergency or rescue workers who provide emergency assistance in any area.
- Persons officially registered in foreign companies, provided that they work at branches or representative offices of these companies.
- Representatives of various religious organizations, whose activities are coordinated at the state level.
- Citizens who are engaged in teaching or research activities, provided that they have received an invitation from Ukrainian higher education institutions.
Also, non-residents whose activities are carried out under international agreements ratified by the Verkhovna Rada are not required for official employment. In other cases, special documentation is required.
Documents for obtaining a work permit
The procedure for employment of foreigners includes the collection of a complete package of documents. You need to have:
- statement;
- translation of a passport certified by a notary or made by a court translator;
- a copy of a diploma or other educational document;
- two photos with a format of 3.5 by 4.5;
- a certificate from future work stating that the person will not have access to a state secret;
- a copy of the contract or employment contract.
Each document must be certified by the seal of the employer or a notary.
Features of employment of foreigners in Ukraine
After submitting the above-mentioned documentation, the employment center decides to issue a permit or refuse it. Employees have only 7 working days.
When the decision is positive, the employer must pay the state fee within 10 days of receiving it. If this is not done, the permission is revoked automatically. At the same time it is necessary to sign an employment contract or agreement between the foreigner and the company and submit a copy to the employment service. Permission is revoked if this is not done.
The employer keeps the original document, and the employee receives only a notarized copy. It is a foreigner who submits it to the Ukrainian embassy to obtain a “D” type visa. Thus, he issues a temporary residence permit in Ukraine.
