SERVICES REGARDING CITIZENSHIP
Renunciation of previous citizenship by foreigners who have obtained Ukrainian citizenship:
Within two years from the moment of acquiring Ukrainian citizenship, a foreigner must provide the migration service with a document confirming the renunciation of previous citizenship. In practice, the procedure for fulfilling such a legal requirement is not sufficiently regulated and is associated with legal and organizational complexities, and in some cases it may be impossible. Therefore, after obtaining a temporary certificate of Ukrainian citizenship, we recommend seeking legal advice to determine an effective, reasonable algorithm of actions, without wasting time and money on collecting unnecessary certificates.
Renunciation of Ukrainian citizenship:

Why should you turn to an immigration lawyer?
- We are confident, we possess the strength and knowledge...
Individuals who have arrived in Ukraine for the first time and have the opportunity to have unforgettable experiences while visiting state authorities and institutions usually aim to minimize any further interaction with the state and the associated stress.
We have been practicing in the field of migration law for over 15 years. During this time, we have thoroughly studied the mindset, behavior, and working style of officials from the State Migration Service of Ukraine, as well as employees of other law enforcement agencies of Ukraine.
Unfortunately, violations of legislation, corrupt practices, disregard for the rights and freedoms of foreign citizens and Ukrainian citizens occur constantly. Foreigners feel helpless and lost in the face of the arbitrariness of state officials. Currently, we can no longer calmly observe what is happening in our society.
