Legal support in the procedure for obtaining a work permit for foreigners

A prerequisite for the admission of a foreign citizen to work in Ukraine is the receipt by the employer of a work permit for a foreigner. A work permit (for employment) of a foreigner is a document issued by an employment center that allows an employer to employ a foreign citizen, in whose name the permit is issued, for a specified period.

In connection with the new reform in the field of foreign investment in Ukraine, a work permit for foreigners can be issued for up to 3 years. With the possibility of extension for the same period.

Peculiarities of obtaining a work permit

Please note that a work permit is issued for a specific foreigner with an indication of the specific position for which the foreigner is registered. Thus, a work permit for a foreigner obtained by an employer gives him the right to accept a foreigner only for the position indicated in it. The employment center issues a work permit for a foreigner, in particular, provided:

  • lack of employees with appropriate qualifications among citizens of Ukraine who can perform similar work
  • providing sufficient justification for the employment center for the need to accept a foreigner for the relevant position

There is a list of foreigners whose employment does not require the employer to obtain a special permit from the employment center: foreigners permanently residing in Ukraine, employees of foreign media and representative offices, artists, athletes, participants in the implementation of international projects invited to teach at universities.

The process of obtaining a work permit for a foreigner has some difficulties. However, having received a work permit for a foreigner, an employer interested in compliance with the law will avoid many unpleasant moments in the future associated with the illegal use of foreign labor (taking into account, first of all, the amount of a fine in the amount of twenty minimum wages).
