A permanent residence permit in Ukraine is a document that confirms a foreigner’s right to reside permanently in the country. However, this status is not entirely “lifetime”: to maintain it, the permit must be replaced if certain personal data changes or if its validity period is approaching expiration.

In this article, we explain when a residence permit must be replaced, which documents are required, how long the process takes, and what common mistakes applicants make.
