Legal Services for Foreigners in Ukraine by Dominion Law Firm — Protection and Support at Every Stage
Ukraine offers foreign nationals extensive opportunities — from starting and growing a business to investing in real estate. However, foreigners who aim to work, reside, or invest in Ukraine often face various legal challenges. The nuances of Ukrainian legislation, national legal restrictions, bureaucratic procedures, and, not least, the language barrier, can become significant obstacles without the support of an experienced immigration lawyer. Dominion Law Firm specializes in providing a full range of legal services to foreigners, addressing legal matters with maximum efficiency and comfort.

Dominion Law Firm specializes in and offers the following legal services for foreigners:
1. Immigration Support
The process of obtaining the necessary documents for temporary or permanent residence in Ukraine can be complex, especially for those navigating it for the first time. Dominion’s immigration lawyers assist with:
- Obtaining a Temporary or Permanent Residence Permit
A residence permit is an official document that identifies a foreign national or stateless person and confirms their legal right to reside in Ukraine, either temporarily (for up to one year) or permanently. The document is issued in the form of a biometric card with a contactless electronic chip.
- Registration of Place of Residence
Once a residence permit is obtained, foreigners planning to stay in Ukraine for an extended period must register their place of residence. This is essential for accessing social services, complying with migration regulations, obtaining employment, and enabling state oversight.
Our immigration service includes preparing a comprehensive package of necessary documents, submitting applications, representing you before migration and other government authorities, and properly registering your residence in accordance with Ukrainian legislation.

2. Business Registration
Ukraine is becoming increasingly attractive to foreign investors. To operate a business legally and avoid unnecessary inspections or fines, official registration is required.
The service includes:
- Company or Sole Proprietor Registration
Our lawyers help you choose the optimal legal structure based on your business scale, number of founders, and other factors. We prepare internal (statutory) documents, complete registration with relevant authorities, and assist in opening a bank account.
- Obtaining All Necessary Permits and Licenses
Depending on your business activity, specific licenses and permits may be required. Ukrainian legislation mandates licensing for certain sectors (alcohol and tobacco sales, financial and medical services, transportation, etc.), as well as permits for environmental, fire safety, and sanitary compliance. We ensure the timely and proper acquisition of these documents if needed.
- Ongoing Legal Support for Business Operations
We provide comprehensive legal support for your business, including consultations, contract drafting, negotiation support with partners, and representation before authorities and in court.

3. Obtaining a Work Permit
Foreign nationals must obtain a special work permit to legally work in Ukraine. This is a mandatory requirement for employment. Our legal team provides:
- Preparation and submission of all required documents and applications
- Communication with authorized bodies (Employment Centers)
- Monitoring compliance with legal deadlines and requirements
Working without a valid permit may result in fines and deportation for the foreigner, as well as administrative penalties for the employer.

We conduct a thorough legal review of the property documents, verify the absence of encumbrances, confirm lawful ownership, and provide legal solutions to mitigate potential risks. This process safeguards your investment and ensures legal clarity.

We draft, analyze, and negotiate all agreements in full compliance with Ukrainian legislation.
- Support Throughout the Transaction Process
We accompany you through all stages of the deal — from initial negotiations to contract signing and execution. Our legal team ensures the transaction is legally secure, correctly documented, and fully compliant, minimizing risks and protecting your interests.

5. Tax Advisory Services
Tax law is one of the most complex and rapidly evolving areas of legislation. Mistakes in tax calculations, missed deadlines, or inaccurate reporting can lead to inspections, penalties, and reputational risks. Our legal tax services for foreigners help both businesses and individuals comply with the law, reduce risks, and manage tax obligations efficiently. We offer:
- Explanation of Tax Regulations and Obligations
We clarify core tax concepts, your rights and duties, and provide up-to-date information tailored to foreigners operating in Ukraine.
- Tax Optimization Strategies
We help identify legal strategies to minimize tax burdens while ensuring compliance with Ukrainian tax regulations.

With reliable legal backing, foreign nationals can confidently pursue their plans in Ukraine, knowing that all legal matters will be handled effectively and in full compliance with current legislation.
FAQs
What is the legal status of a foreign national in Ukraine?
A foreigner is a person who does not hold Ukrainian citizenship and is a citizen (national) of another country or countries. Foreign nationals and stateless persons enjoy the same rights and freedoms and bear the same obligations as citizens of Ukraine. They are equal before the law regardless of their origin, social or financial status, race or nationality, gender, language, religion, occupation, or other circumstances.
What rights to judicial protection do foreigners, stateless persons, and foreign legal entities have in Ukraine?
Foreign nationals, stateless persons, and foreign legal entities have the same right to judicial protection in Ukraine as Ukrainian citizens and legal entities. In addition, they are entitled to enter into legal assistance agreements with attorneys for the purpose of protecting and representing their rights and interests before government authorities and in court proceedings.
How can a non-resident obtain a tax identification number (TIN) in Ukraine?
Obtaining a Tax Identification Number (TIN) is necessary for various transactions, such as opening a bank account, receiving income, and paying taxes. The TIN is an essential element for legalizing a foreign national's stay in Ukraine. It can be obtained through the State Tax Service at the place of residence or where the income is received. This service is free of charge, and the processing time is up to 10 working days.
