Work permit for Ukrainian citizens

When faced with the problem of finding a job in their home country or planning to move to another country, many people ask themselves a difficult question about how to obtain a work permit. Numerous CIS citizens leave to work abroad, including to Russia. Let us turn to the letter of the Russian law. Here the answer is unambiguous - only those foreign citizens who have obtained a work permit have a job. For the citizens of Ukraine, an exception has not been made, so let's try to understand this issue.

For those persons who intend to work without the conclusion of a labor agreement (it is also called a contract or a contract), the document's validity period is limited to three months, and in the presence of an employment contract - up to 1 year from the moment of crossing the Russian border. A plastic card is issued to individuals, indicating the specialty for which they can work, as well as a certain region of the Russian Federation that limits the scope of the job search. You can obtain such a work permit for citizens of Ukraine by applying to the relevant state institution (UFMS) with a statement, this process is simplified for Ukrainians.

Those persons who are going to work more than 30 days, it is necessary to submit a certificate of state of health to state bodies, without which they can not obtain a work permit. For Ukrainian citizens, visa-free entry to the territory of our country is provided, which also simplifies the process of issuing a work card. In addition, the categories of persons who do not need permission to register are clearly marked. To those in terms of legislation are:

- persons with a residence permit in the country;

- Foreign students studying at Russian universities and working here during the holidays;

- teachers and journalists accredited in Russia and invited to work.

Permission for work for citizens of Ukraine and other foreign persons should be issued only by competent authorities, therefore it is necessary to avoid questionable mediation on the part of private firms offering services in registration of documents. There is a great danger of giving your money to scammers and eventually getting an invalid card.

After obtaining permission, a foreigner must find a job within 90 days, otherwise he can be deported from the country. After he is recruited, all responsibility for the hired person lies with the employer. Legal entities that accept foreign employees in their staff pay the state a duty and are required to report on hiring to the migration service, tax and employment services, otherwise it will almost never be possible to avoid penalties. Permission to attract foreign workers from the CIS countries to employers is not required (except for the citizens of Turkmenistan and Georgia, for whom the quota is imposed).

Almost all citizens of the CIS work permit must be obtained in advance, only Belarus is not included in this list. Its residents (in accordance with the agreement concluded between states) can work in a free regime.
