Ukraine For ALL explains how a foreigner invests, opens a company, hires staff, gets a residence permit, studies, travels and pays tax in Ukraine. Every guide names the primary source behind each figure (a law with its article and version date, or an official portal) and shows the date its facts were last checked. Where a step needs a Ukrainian lawyer or accountant, the guide names the firm of our group that handles it.
Investing
What a foreign investor deals with in Ukraine: how to enter (a new company, a stake, a representative office), how money moves in and out under the currency rules, how war risk is covered, and when an investment leads to residence.
Company
A non-resident can own and run a Ukrainian company. The guides walk through the sequence: choosing the form, registering it, opening the bank account, changing the director remotely, and closing the company when it is no longer needed.
Work and hiring
Two sides of the same permit: a Ukrainian employer hiring a foreign specialist, and a foreigner who wants to work here legally. Plus hiring Ukrainian developers from abroad without a local company.
Residence
Temporary and permanent residence permits, the grounds that lead to them, citizenship, marriage to a Ukrainian citizen, and the apostille or legalisation that foreign documents need first.
Study
How international students are admitted to Ukrainian universities, which visa and residence permit a student needs, how a foreign diploma is recognised, and where to learn Ukrainian.
Travel
Who needs a visa, how the e-visa works, what the entry rules are under martial law, and what the official travel advice of other governments says, with the date it was read.
Tax and banking
The taxes a foreign-owned company pays, the tax number a foreigner needs, the bank account, dividends paid abroad, and what to do when a tax audit report arrives while you are away.

How we check facts
Every figure, deadline and fee on these pages carries its source: the law or resolution with the article number and the date of the version we read, or the official portal with the date we read it. A second reviewer re-reads each figure against the source before a guide is published. When a guide says a step needs a Ukrainian lawyer or accountant, it points to a firm in the same group, and it says so on the page. More on the method and the group: about the project.
About the project
Ukraine For ALL helps people from other countries deal with Ukraine in practice: putting money into a business, registering a company, hiring a team, enrolling at a university, or simply visiting. We explain how things work here: the rules, the paperwork and the offices you need to deal with. Questions come to our office in Kyiv, at 77 Velyka Vasylkivska St.
Whatever brings you to Ukraine, the first obstacle is usually the same: the procedure is described in Ukrainian, in the language of the law. The guides retell it in plain English, and the form below takes questions in English, Ukrainian or Russian.
FAQ

Ukraine For ALL is a private information project run from Kyiv and part of Innova Consulting Group. Its guides are written from the laws and official portals of Ukraine, and the about page lists the firms of the group and the method of checking.
Where do the figures on the guides come from?
From the primary sources: the laws of Ukraine on zakon.rada.gov.ua, Cabinet of Ministers resolutions and official portals such as diia.gov.ua, mfa.gov.ua and dmsu.gov.ua. Each guide lists them at the end with the date they were checked.
Can you handle my case?
The guides explain the procedure. When a case needs a lawyer or an accountant, a firm of the same group takes it on, and each guide names that firm and links to its service page. You can also describe your case in the form on this page.
