Purchase and sale of Ukrainian citizenship as the fastest and least legal way to legalize a foreigner in Ukraine

Buying citizenship of Ukraine

Along with foreigners obtaining a residence permit in Ukraine (temporary/permanent), the highest degree of legalization of a foreign citizen on the territory of Ukraine is obtaining citizenship of Ukraine.

The purpose of this article is to warn foreign citizens who want to obtain Ukrainian citizenship, but have no grounds for this, from the possible consequences of "buying" Ukrainian citizenship.

The most frequently asked questions of foreigners who plan to move to Ukraine for permanent residence relate to obtaining Ukrainian citizenship. The presence of a person's citizenship of the country of residence, of course, gives a number of advantages compared to a residence permit in this country (although these advantages are not much different from the advantages that are guaranteed by a permanent residence permit). Comparison of the methods of legalization of foreigners in Ukraine is not the subject of this article, so we do not dwell on this in detail.

List of grounds for obtaining Ukrainian citizenship

The legislation of Ukraine, in particular the Law of Ukraine "On Citizenship", prescribes a list of grounds for obtaining citizenship of Ukraine.

Such grounds include obtaining citizenship of Ukraine:
- upon birth;
- by territorial origin;
- due to the adoption of citizenship;
- as a result of the establishment of guardianship over a person who is recognized by the court as incapacitated;
- as a result of the recognition of paternity or motherhood or the establishment of the fact of paternity or motherhood;
- in connection with the citizenship of one or both parents of the child;
- upon adoption or establishment of guardianship;
- due to the restoration of Ukrainian citizenship, as well as for a number of other reasons.

The list of grounds established by the legislation of Ukraine is exhaustive.

"Exit" from difficult situations

Thus, the presence of specific grounds is the main requirement for a foreigner to obtain Ukrainian citizenship. A foreigner who wants to become a citizen of Ukraine does not always have grounds for this. It is for such situations in the market of services that there is a service for the sale of citizenship of Ukraine. Citizenship merchants guarantee an easy and fast way to obtain Ukrainian citizenship - the purchase of Ukrainian citizenship. One of the ways to circumvent the legal procedure for obtaining Ukrainian citizenship, implemented with the help of the services of such "professionals", is to obtain Ukrainian citizenship on the basis of a new birth certificate, of course, with the place of birth in Ukraine (in this case, even specifying the real names of the parents is not mandatory). In general, this procedure takes about 10 days.

As you can see, becoming a citizen of Ukraine by using the services of citizenship merchants, compared to the legal way of obtaining citizenship, is a faster and easier way for a foreigner, since it does not require either time or, most importantly, grounds for obtaining citizenship. If he wanted to, he got it.

There are countless ways to circumvent legislative norms, and the procedures for the legalization of foreign citizens on the territory of Ukraine are no exception.

The main drawbacks of such methods of obtaining citizenship are the absence of any guarantees, because the main purpose of the seller in this situation is the sale of goods. In this case, sellers are not responsible for the quality of the goods either at the time of sale or in the future at the time of inspections of forged documents carried out, in particular, by the SBU authorities.

Since the legislation of Ukraine provides for several ways to legalize foreigners on the territory of Ukraine (including permanent / temporary residence permit, citizenship), we are trying to find the most appropriate way of legalization for each specific client, taking into account the specifics of his situation.

Despite the allure of the services of merchants with Ukrainian citizenship, we recommend that you do not neglect the legal methods of legalization in order to ensure yourself a calm and carefree stay in Ukraine on completely legal grounds in the future.
