 For many years a near complete lack of enforcement helped to alleviate many of the problems, which foreigner visitors are starting to encounter in recent months.  Today, Ukraine is closer to Europe than ever before, and for the first time since 1991, Ukrainian customs officials are beginning to strictly enforce the applicable legislation by limiting the number of foreign citizens who are allowed to enter Ukraine for periods longer than 90 days.

 
At the same time, the news is not all bad: in September of 2017, changes to several laws, including the Law “On Employment of the Population” and “The Legal Status of Foreigners and Stateless Persons”, among others, will expand the list of foreigners who can receive work permits and temporary residency permits.  One of the key categories of foreigners who can obtain work permits in Ukraine will be those who are registered as private entrepreneurs that hire employees.

The Law “On Employment of the Population” provides six new categories of foreigners affected by the above-mentioned changes.  Moreover, work permits will now be issued for a longer term for certain categories, providing them the opportunity to apply for 3-year work permits.  The table below lists the categories of foreigners who require work permits and the maximum term of such work permits.
