According to Ukrainian legislation, the employment of a foreign citizen on the territory of Ukraine is possible by receiving the permit for employment of a foreigner (work permit). Lawyers of J&L Consulting are constantly monitoring updates on the application process and can provide qualified assistance throughout the multi-level work permit obtaining process.

However, all the necessary actions concerning execution of documents for receiving the work permit are to be carried out by the employer.
