If you are a foreigner who came to Ukraine and delayed here or plan to stay more than 90 days, this information is for you. You need to extend your stay for the entire period of the circumstances in order to be legally on the territory of Ukraine.
In accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine from 15.02.2012 № 150 "On approval of the extension of the period of stay and extend or reduce the period of temporary stay of foreigners and stateless persons on the territory of Ukraine", in case of extending the period of stay in Ukraine it is necessary to appeal to the territorial office of the Migration service not earlier than 10 days and no later than 3 days prior to the expiration of the first registration term.
You got the first registration at crossing the state border, when the official of the correspondent body marked "Entry" in your passport, brought the information to the relevant register or filled in an immigration card.
Extension of stay means putting a correspondent stamp in the passport, which is affixed a registration seal. If international agreements stipulate foreigners’ entry to Ukraine with a national passport, extension of stay in Ukraine, at their request, is issued by writing out a set-in check to the passport.
Grounds for extending the period of stay depends on the type of visa on which you entered.
Extending is possible in the following cases:
1. Transit Visa - in case of a forced stop in Ukraine in connection with emergency for the period necessary to eliminate such emergency;
2. Short-term visa or entry of citizens of the countries with visa-free entry (Azerbaijan, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Russian Federation, Uzbekistan) - if there are reasonable grounds to extend their stay on the territory of Ukraine (treatment, pregnancy, childbirth, care for a sick family member, claim rights to inheritance, submission of an application for permission to immigrate or obtaining citizenship of Ukraine, etc.);
3. Long-term visa - if within the term of visa validity the documents giving the right to stay or reside in Ukraine for a period exceeding 90 days were not issued for legitimate reasons.
Responsibility for residence violation in Ukraine
Foreigners and stateless persons detained for illegal stay on the territory of Ukraine (who violated the prohibition to enter Ukraine, in the absence of specific grounds to stay in Ukraine, sentenced by legislation and international treaties of Ukraine (transit through its territory), including a stay with the other person’s visas (permits), passports, fake or spoiled ones or which do not meet the established standard, are placed in temporary settlements for foreigners and stateless persons, who are illegally in Ukraine, with a regulated internal order for the period necessary to prepare them for deportation outside Ukraine enforced, but not more than six months.
Please note that to extend the period of stay a foreigner or an inviting party should have the means to 20 - fold of the subsistence minimum established in Ukraine on the day of entry to Ukraine, for one foreigner per month. If the period of stay of a foreigner or a stateless person in Ukraine is less or more than one month, the said sum is divided by the arithmetic mean of the number of days of the month (30 days) and multiplied by the planned number of days of stay (this amount is added to five days).
