Immigration Law
Misechko & Partners supports foreigners coming to Ukraine to work, do business, invest or live, as well as companies and international organisations that employ foreign staff. We choose the legal ground for stay that fits the client’s plans, prepare the documents, handle filings with the State Migration Service and the employment centre, and keep track of renewal deadlines.
An immigration matter is often part of a wider project: setting up a company, registering a representative office, opening a bank account or buying property. We handle these together, so that the ground for the residence permit and the business structure are aligned from the start. We work in Ukrainian and English. Where the State Migration Service refuses, revokes or invalidates a permit, we challenge the decision.
