Author Post niko777 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/11/2011 12:11:19 PM   Hi all, A little background: I am Ukrainian born but now a US citizen. I intend to get married in Ukraine but don't want to go back and forth across the border (too expensive and other matters). Is there a VISA type that will grant me to stay for 3-4 years? I know I cannot get PR status until after 2 years of being married to a UA citizen and live there. What are my options? I currently live in Chicago and there is a UA embassy here. Thanks. n Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/13/2011 9:12:59 AM   ask the embassy bowhunter Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/13/2011 6:26:17 PM   you can get 2 a year business visa with no problem.. seems over stay on a visa is not a big concern in Ukraine. durak Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/9/2011 4:47:44 AM   Reportedly, serious changes in Ukraine migration policy. These DON'T affect most of us who make not more than a few visits a year, of not more than a couple of weeks or so. They DO affect foreigners who want to live or work in Ukraine. 1) Starting tomorrow (10 Sept. 2011), Ukraine will issue visas under new rules. Short visits (like most of us make) will work the same as they have (if you haven't needed a visa, you still won't). But if you want to stay more than 90 days in a row -- or more than 90 days out of ANY consecutive 180 days (for example, 2 months in Ukraine, 2 months out, and then another 2 months in Ukraine), you will need a long-term visa; and now, there will be only one type of long-term visa (there were multiple kinds before). It's not yet clear, but it may be difficult to get such a visa without a work permit. 2) Ukraine is getting more careful and strict about enforcing the 90 out of 180 rule. Passport control officers are studying the passports to look for infractions. 3) Ukraine is becoming more strict about registration, which is normally not an issue for short-term visitors, but is required for people who make extended stays in Ukraine. Breaking either the 90/180 rule or failing to register when required might result in fines, delays in exiting, refusal of entry, or problems obtaining future visas. If I understand correctly, many people have been using various "dodges" to stay full-time, or nearly full-time in Ukraine, taking advantage of rules not being enforced. These tricks will become more difficult, or simply stop working. Hopefully, forum members who live as expats in Ukraine can shed more light on this subject, and point out any errors I may have made in this post.
