Exchange or extension of a Permit for permanent residence in Ukraine
The exchange of a permanent residence permit is carried out in such cases:
-
changes in the information entered in the passport (for example, a change of surname after marriage or divorce);
-
detection of an error in the information entered in the certificate;
-
expiration of the permit (permit is issued for a period of 10 years);
-
unfitness of the permit for further use;
-
reaching the age of 25 or 45 by a foreigner or a stateless person (in the case when the foreigner has an old-style passport that does not contain a contactless electronic medium);
-
in case of loss or theft of the previous permit.
Pay attention! There is no provision for the exchange of a permit at one's own will, so the migration service carries out the exchange of permits for permanent residence only on the grounds specified above.
When exchanging a permit for permanent residence, you need to know:
-
If you have an old-style passport, before exchanging the passport, the migration service will check the legality of obtaining a permit to immigrate to Ukraine and the grounds for issuing the previous document. It is at this stage that problems may arise, which often lead to cancellation of documents and expulsion from Ukraine. We will provide preliminary verification of the document and consultation on passing the verification.
-
In case of violation of the deadlines for submitting documents for the exchange of a permit, a foreigner may be held administratively liable. In such a situation, our specialists also help to minimize and sometimes avoid fines. If necessary, they will provide assistance in appealing the administrative protocol.
-
After the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, our lawyers already have a successful practice of exchanging passports for citizens of the Russian Federation and Belarus.
What to do if the permanent residence permit was canceled?
Our lawyers have been working for many years with clients who have lived in Ukraine for a long time based on documents for permanent residence, and when they applied to the migration service, they received not only a refusal to exchange, but also a decision to cancel their immigration permit to Ukraine.
In such cases, our lawyers will analyze your situation, available documents, decisions, and will select for you the best warrant for legalization in Ukraine. This can be an appeal against the decision, obtaining documents for legalization on other grounds, etc.
