Obtaining a temporary or permanent residence permit (residence permit) in Ukraine is a complex process that requires strict compliance with legal requirements. Many foreigners are faced with the question: should they prepare the documents themselves or should they turn to specialists? Let's consider the pros and cons of each option.

By the way, we discussed how often foreigners are denied a residence permit in Ukraine in our previous article.

Self-application for a residence permit in Ukraine

Pros

1. Cost savings - you do not need to pay lawyers or agencies for their services.

2. Full control over the process - you personally deal with all stages of registration, which allows you to track every step.

3. Experience and knowledge of the law - if you are well versed in the legal aspects of migration law, self-registration can be effective.

Cons

1. High likelihood of mistakes - incorrectly filling out documents or submitting an incomplete package can lead to a refusal or delay in obtaining a residence permit.

2. Difficulties in communicating with government agencies - foreigners often face language barriers and difficulties in understanding bureaucratic requirements.

3. Lengthy process - independent registration may take longer due to the need to understand all the nuances of the legislation on your own.

4. Uncertainty in case of refusal - if the State Migration Service of Ukraine (SMS) refuses a residence permit, you will have to find out the reasons and rework the documents.

By the way, we have described in more detail when a residence permit in Ukraine may be denied and how to act in such situations in a previous article.
