The termination of the grounds for residence in Ukraine, changes in life circumstances or other reasons may necessitate the cancellation of a temporary residence permit. This is an important legal procedure that requires proper execution and compliance with the established deadlines.
If you need to cancel your residence permit in Ukraine, but do not know how to do it, contact Visit Ukraine's migration lawyers. Our specialists will provide professional advice and full legal support at all stages of the procedure.
What is a temporary residence permit revocation?
Revocation of a residence permit is a mandatory procedure that must be carried out if the grounds for a foreigner's residence in Ukraine are no longer relevant. After the revocation, the document is returned to the migration service, and the foreign citizen must leave the territory of Ukraine within the period established by law (as a rule, 7 days from the date of revocation).
Important! The revocation of a residence permit does not mean a ban on further entry into the territory of Ukraine (unless a corresponding decision has been made due to violations of migration legislation or other reasons). Therefore, if a foreigner has the relevant documents and grounds, he or she can return to Ukraine at will.
Who can initiate the revocation of a residence permit?
The revocation procedure can be initiated by:
● The foreigner himself or herself
● State authorities of Ukraine
● Law enforcement agencies of Ukraine
Legal grounds for revocation of a residence permit
The main reasons for revocation of a residence permit are:
● Providing false documents during the application process
● Termination of grounds for staying in Ukraine
● Entry into force of a court verdict of guilty
● Establishment of a threat to national security or public order
● Decision on forced expulsion or entry ban
● Obtaining Ukrainian citizenship
● Voluntary cancellation of a residence permit by a foreigner

How can I cancel or refuse a residence permit in Ukraine on my own?
In order to give up a residence permit, you must go through the procedure of deregistration at your place of residence in Ukraine and contact the State Migration Service of Ukraine (SMS) or another authority that issued the residence permit to return the document and cancel the stamp in your passport that a residence permit was issued. After surrendering the residence permit, the foreigner must leave the country within 7 days.
Please note! A foreigner is obliged to surrender the residence permit in person if:
● The grounds for residence have expired
● Voluntary departure from Ukraine is planned
● The grounds for residence have changed
● The residence permit has expired
● The deadline for applying for a residence permit extension has been missed
By the way, you can find step-by-step instructions on what to do if a foreigner's passport or residence permit in Ukraine has expired here.
How to cancel a residence permit in Ukraine from abroad?
If a foreigner is outside Ukraine, there are two ways to cancel a residence permit:

2. With the help of a legal representative - who will represent the interests of the foreigner in the Migration Service and independently resolve all bureaucratic issues, taking into account all the migration nuances of Ukrainian legislation.
