Work permit for foreigners.
In order to become a full-fledged worker in Ukraine, it is important to go through clear procedures established by government bodies.
A permit to use the labor of foreigners and stateless persons is a document that gives the employer the right to temporarily use the work of an alien in a particular workplace or at a particular position.
1) For legal employment of a foreigner in Ukraine, the employer must obtain permission from the territorial Employment Center.
2) The term of validity of such a document is from six months to three years; upon the expiration of the term of the permit, it is possible to extend it an unlimited number of times.
3) Education of a foreigner is important only if he is employed as an employee of a special category, which has benefits and is not limited in the amount of the minimum wage.
4) An employer can be both a legal entity and an individual entrepreneur.
5) For the use of the labor of a foreigner without a permit, there is a significant fine (twenty times the minimum wage).
The standard list of documents includes:
1) a statement in the form established by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, in which the employer confirms that the position in which the work of a foreigner or stateless person is applied in accordance with the laws of Ukraine is not related to belonging to the citizenship of Ukraine and does not require access to state secrets;
