The labor of foreigners and stateless persons may be used in different positions at one or more (two or more) employers, subject to obtaining a permit to use the labor of foreigners and stateless persons in each position.
To obtain a permit, the employer submits the following documents:
- application in the established form;

- a copy of the draft employment contract or gig contract with a foreigner or stateless person, certified by the employer;
- additional documents, depending on the category of the foreigner.
Obtaining a work permit can become a legal basis for obtaining a temporary residence permit in Ukraine.
The permit is valid for no more than 3 years. This term can be extended.
The period for obtaining a permit is 7 working days, which is calculated after the employer submits all the necessary documents.
The employer is obliged to conclude an employment contract with a foreigner or stateless person no later than 90 calendar days from the date of issuance of the permit and within ten days after concluding the employment contract (contract) submit a copy of it to the relevant employment center.
