Preparing an Invitation for a Foreign National
Arranging an invitation for a foreign national to visit Ukraine can be a fairly complex process. Whether the visit is related to business, family circumstances, or cultural exchange, every detail matters. The type of invitation—business or private—is also important. With professional legal assistance from MAGISTERS Law Firm, you can move confidently through every stage of the process and ensure compliance with legal requirements at each step.
An invitation for a foreign national to enter Ukraine is a legally significant document, properly prepared, confirming the host party’s intention to invite a foreign national to Ukraine. The host party assumes obligations prescribed by law, including financial obligations, in connection with the foreign national’s stay in Ukraine. An invitation may serve as a supporting document for obtaining a type C visa. An invitation for a non-resident is important because it is the first step in a series of administrative procedures required to bring someone from abroad. Errors at this stage may delay or even jeopardize subsequent immigration formalities.
Both Individuals and Legal Entities Can Invite Foreign Nationals to Ukraine:
Individuals
Individuals: both Ukrainian citizens and foreign nationals holding a permanent or temporary residence permit in Ukraine may invite foreign visitors.
Legal Entities
Legal entities: an invitation may be issued by a legal entity or the representative office of a foreign company in Ukraine.
We carefully review the documents and ensure compliance with the requirements at this important stage.
Our lawyers keep their knowledge of immigration legislation and changing requirements up to date.
Type C Short-Stay Visa
A type C short-stay visa is intended for short visits—usually up to 90 days within a 180-day period—by nationals of countries whose citizens require a visa to enter Ukraine. It is commonly used for tourism, business travel, and other short visits. It is important to understand the rights and obligations associated with this visa category. Foreign nationals should also remember that the validity of a type C visa cannot exceed the validity of their passport; if the inviting party is a foreign national, the validity of that person’s permanent or temporary residence permit must also be taken into account.
How an Individual Arranges an Invitation
The process involves several steps, from preparing the draft invitation to checking its compliance with the requirements and submitting the relevant documents.
Step 1
Our immigration consultants contact the person who will act as the host, or hold an in-person consultation, and identify the required set of documents.
Step 2
We prepare the complete documentation package according to the requirements of the consular office in the country where the application will be submitted and draft the invitation letter.
Step 3
We arrange a meeting with a notary and promptly prepare the invitation for the foreign national on an official notarised form.
Step 4
We provide guidance on sending the documents to the applicant’s country of residence and explain the procedure for applying to the consular office.
Documents: Checklist for an Invitation Issued by an Individual
- Passport of the person inviting the foreign national
- Tax identification number (TIN)
- Temporary or permanent residence permit in Ukraine (for foreign hosts)
- Notarised translation of the foreign national’s passport
The following information must also be provided:
- Intended duration of the foreign national’s stay in Ukraine
- Intended address of the foreign national’s stay in Ukraine
- Foreign national’s address in their country of citizenship
A missing required document, or one that does not meet the applicable requirements, may disrupt the entire process.
