Success

In December 2022, a Canadian citizen obtained a work permit for 2 years based on the application and documents drafted and submitted by solicitors and attorneys of the Law Firm "Disputes".

Earlier on our website, we mentioned a Canadian citizen whom we helped to appeal the State Immigration Service decision on an entry ban to Ukraine for 3 years and expulsion to his country of origin. During the trial, the foreigner expressed his desire to live and do business in Ukraine. And he is heading toward his goal.

Opening a company and the entrepreneurship itself will be a legal ground for obtaining a temporary residence permit in Ukraine for the Client in the future.

But there is one peculiarity in starting a business by a foreign citizen in Ukraine - the director of the company must be a citizen of Ukraine or must have a work permit from the Employment Center.

In September 2022, the Client continued his cooperation with the Law Firm "Disputes" and we prepared a package of documents for company registration as a first step in obtaining a foreigner's work permit. The Client's company was registered on October 17, 2022. His Ukrainian bride became the temporary director. A bank account was opened for the company. The next stage was to obtain a work permit for the employment of a foreigner.

In October 2022, the Law of Ukraine "On Employment of the Population" was amended to simplify the requirements for the procedure for obtaining such a permit for foreigners, while at the same time making it more expensive.

Unfortunately, during the consideration of the application for the issuance of a work permit at the Kyiv City Employment Center, there were remarks regarding some information about the foreigner, which were specified in the submitted documents.

The lawyers of the Law Firm "Disputes" fixed all the remarks, and on December 23, 2022, a letter was sent to the Client's e-mail with the following sentence: "The permit has been issued and prepared for handover to the employer."

Thus, the Canadian citizen will meet the New Year with a new status - as the founder of a new Ukrainian enterprise and its future Director.
