Simplification of employment regime for Foreigners of Ukrainian origin

Parliament have introduced a Law that will simplify (if adopted) the employment regime of foreigners of Ukrainian origin (i.e., the Law will allow foreigners of Ukrainian origin to be effectively employed in Ukraine without work permits).

Considering that a work permit is required foreign nationals to apply for a temporary residence permit, if the Law is enacted it will need to be clarified whether foreigners of Ukrainian origin will be able to obtain a temporary residence permit or its equivalent without a work permit. Currently the principal benefit for foreigners of Ukrainian origin is a multi-entry private visa for 5 years.

Now that is a good move. Lets hope it works to attract more people into helping Ukraine develop further.
