“Despite the fact that in the first months of the war the extension of the residence permit was not possible due to the elementary closed offices of the AMF, today, for the autumn of 2022, this procedure is already carried out in Ukraine.

Apply to the nearest subdivision of the SMS, the Center for Administrative Services or SE "Passport Service", which performs reception, regardless of the place of registration or temporary residence of a foreigner.

Important: You should submit documents for a visa not later than 15 working days before the end of your stay in Ukraine.

There are, however, exceptions - we all understand that if the expiration date of the document falls in the first months of the war - then the question of the extension can be tried even if the deadline is missed. But everything is individual, and requires analysis by a lawyer.

Also, if we are talking about permanent residence in Ukraine, if the exchange of the document is not associated with the end of his term, but because you have changed personal information, such as last name, then the exchange is allocated 1 month from the date of data change.

If you missed the deadline, you would have to pay a fine - from 1700 UAH to 5100 UAH. But the most unpleasant thing is that you may have to leave Ukraine and start the procedure for obtaining a residence permit again.
Important!
It is possible to apply for a visa and receive a ready document only in person.
Documents for registration and exchange of the permit are accepted on the territory of Ukraine at the place of residence. It is not possible to do it through the consulate.”
