Obtaining residence permits for foreign citizens who joined defense of Ukraine simplified

The Government has approved a mechanism for issuing residence permits for foreigners and stateless persons who help the Defense Forces.

It was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The Ministry of Defense has developed a Cabinet resolution "On Approval of the Procedure for Obtaining Information Necessary for Processing an Application for Issuing a Temporary Residence Permit to Foreigners and Stateless Persons", which was adopted by the Government at its meeting.

"We are strengthening the personnel potential of the Defense Forces, protecting foreigners and stateless persons who support our army in the fight against Russian invaders. The Ministry of Defense has clarified the grounds for issuing them temporary residence permits in Ukraine.

Thanks to the Government's decision, those foreign volunteers who are involved in providing small arms, tactical, radio, explosives, medical and other assistance will become more protected.

This Resolution also strengthens the protection of foreigners who are directly in the areas of combat operations and, together with our units, perform combat or service tasks for at least six months," said Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Brigadier General of Justice Serhii Melnyk.
