About this service

The permitted stay runs from the date of entry, and extending it is possible only on a ground the authority accepts as a good reason: treatment, court proceedings, paperwork. The application goes to the territorial Migration Service office before the term expires.

More in the knowledge base: Type C or type D visa: which Ukrainian visa do you need?

Who it is for

  • Foreigners whose permitted stay is running out
  • Anyone held up by circumstances: treatment, court proceedings, paperwork
  • Anyone already overstaying who wants to put it right lawfully

What documents are needed

  • Passport with the border-crossing stamp
  • Documents confirming the reason for the delay
  • Documents about the place of stay in Ukraine

What it gives you

  • The stay remains lawful instead of turning into an overstay

Frequently asked questions

What if the term has already been missed?+

Do not simply leave and do not wait. Overstaying is a separate matter with its own consequences for future entries. We will look at the situation and tell you what routes are left.

How long does an extension take?+

It is always an urgent matter, so we start the moment you contact us. The term depends on the office and the ground; we give you realistic expectations at the consultation.

Can the stay be extended without a good reason?+

No. The authority weighs the ground, not the wish to stay. At the consultation we say honestly whether your situation contains what is accepted as a good reason.

Where is the application filed?+

With the territorial Migration Service office for the place of stay. Filing through the state document centres is also possible; we say which is faster in your city.

Could a residence permit be arranged instead?+

Sometimes, and it is the better outcome: a permit gives status rather than a postponement. We check whether you have a ground and, if so, run that instead.

Still have questions?

Describe your situation and a lawyer will reply within a business day. The first consultation is free.
