Recognition of insurance period in other countries

Ukraine has international social security agreements with a number of countries, including Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Bulgaria. These agreements provide for the mutual recognition of periods of insurance record, which allows Ukrainians to apply for unemployment benefits in these countries.

The main document confirming the insurance period is a certificate issued by the competent authority of Ukraine.

How to confirm the insurance period in Poland

In order to receive unemployment benefits in Poland, you need to provide the local employment office with the UA/PL form “Certificate of periods considered for the purpose of granting and paying unemployment benefits”. This document contains information about the person's labor activity in Ukraine.

Proof of work experience for Bulgaria

Citizens of Ukraine who apply for unemployment benefits in Bulgaria must obtain a Certificate of Insurance (Labor) Record in Ukraine (UKR/BG 3). This document is provided by the State Employment Center of Ukraine upon request of the competent authorities of Bulgaria.

If you don't have time to deal with international agreements and requests to government agencies, contact migration lawyers. They will help you prepare all the necessary documents without any hassle so that you can receive your benefits without any problems.
