How to issue an invitation to a foreigner to Ukraine?
If a person is going to come to Ukraine from another country, he or she must first find out whether the regime between the states is visa or visa-free. If it is visa-free, then a foreigner can stay without registration for 90 days within 180 days. But if there is a visa regime between the states, you need to issue a visa invitation to the foreigner before crossing the border. An invitation from an individual or legal entity is required only for a C visa.
In general, it is worth remembering that in 2017 there were changes in the procedure for issuing invitations, and now you do not need to apply to the Migration Service of Ukraine to issue invitations. In this case, who can issue an invitation letter for a visa to Ukraine?
As of now, any individual or company can issue such a document. Let’s take a closer look at these two cases.
If the invitation is issued by an ordinary individual (a citizen or a foreigner temporarily or permanently residing in Ukraine), the following data must be provided:
- Name, passport details, place of residence of the inviting person;
- Passport data of the invited person;
- Purpose of the trip, duration of stay, number of entries and place of residence in Ukraine;
- Obligation to cover possible expenses related to the foreigner’s arrival.
Such an invitation for a foreigner to Ukraine must be notarized and have the necessary attachments (copies of the inviting person’s passport).
The procedure for issuing an invitation on behalf of a legal entity includes the following information:
- Number from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, registration number, location;
- Information about the invited person;
- Purpose of the trip, period of stay, date of entry and departure;
- Director’s signature and company seal;
Such a document does not need to be notarized, it is enough to execute it on a letterhead.
