Foreign citizens and stateless persons can purchase real estate in Ukraine without any problems. However, this process has certain specific features and restrictions. We described in detail how a foreigner can buy real estate in Ukraine in our previous article. But whether the fact of purchase gives you the right to obtain a residence permit in Ukraine - let's find out further in the article.

Does the purchase of real estate entitle you to a residence permit?

Many foreigners are interested in the possibility of obtaining a residence permit in Ukraine through the purchase of real estate. It is important to understand that the purchase of an apartment or house is not a direct basis for obtaining a residence permit. However, there is a legal way to achieve this goal through investment.

How to obtain a residence permit through the purchase of real estate?

In order to obtain a residence permit through real estate, namely real estate investment, you need to invest at least USD 100,000 in the Ukrainian economy. It is important to understand the difference between a simple purchase of real estate by an individual and an investment through a legal entity. It is not possible to simply buy an apartment or house for your own residence and obtain a residence permit. The purchase of real estate will be considered an investment only under certain conditions.

Algorithm for obtaining a residence permit through real estate investment:

1. Registration of a legal entity in Ukraine

2. Deposit the required amount to the company's account

3. Purchase of real estate on behalf of the registered company

At the same time, a foreigner must own at least 51% of the company's management in order to obtain a residence permit.
