Many foreigners of Ukrainian descent seek to obtain the status of a foreign Ukrainian, which allows them to become more closely connected to Ukraine and provides a number of privileges, such as visa-free multiple entry. However, the path to obtaining it is often complicated by a number of bureaucratic obstacles. In such cases, the support of an experienced lawyer can be crucial in ensuring the successful completion of the procedure. Let's take a look at the main difficulties faced by foreigners when applying for this status and how lawyers can help overcome them.

Problems faced by foreigners in obtaining the status of a foreign Ukrainian

1. Collection of necessary documents and confirmation of Ukrainian origin

Proof of Ukrainian origin requires official documents, such as birth or marriage certificates, which confirm family ties to Ukraine. Often, these documents are lost or do not contain direct proof of origin. At the same time, recovering such documents can also be a difficult task, especially when additional archival inquiries are required.

2. Legalization and translation of documents

Many government agencies require official translation and legalization of documents, which can be time-consuming and costly. Incorrectly translated documents or lack of proper legalization can lead to a refusal to grant the status of a foreign Ukrainian.

3. Different requirements of consulates and lack of a single standard

Each country may have its own specific requirements for the package of documents, which is why foreigners often face problems in different consulates. This discrepancy can delay the process and force the applicant to apply to the consulate more than once.

4. Lengthy processing of applications

In some cases, the review of documents may be delayed due to bureaucratic procedures. This is a significant challenge, especially if a person does not have access to information about the status of their application.

5. Nuances of legislation and complexity of procedures

Ukrainian legal requirements are subject to change, and not all foreigners can easily understand these details. Ignorance of the procedures can lead to mistakes, which may result in a refusal to grant status.
