ANSWERS TO FAQs
- Can my temporary residence permit become permanent residence permit?
- There is no direct transfer. A foreigner usually continues term of a TRP regularly (once per year or another period of time) while the reason of its issuance is still valid. At the same time a foreigner must have a separate reason for getting a permanent residence permit which is not the similar with TRP reasons. Exception can be a marriage with Ukrainian citizen.
- Are type D visa and TRP the same?
- No. Very often foreigners understand origin of these two documents incorrectly. Type D visa is necessary condition for further getting a TRP but this visa is not a permit. It only provides a right to stay at the territory of Ukraine during 90 days while getting a permit).
