Permanent Residence via Investment Ukraine

Two products — don't confuse them by the headline number alone

Both sound like "100,000," but they're different currencies and different legal statuses — the source explicitly calls them fundamentally different routes.

shares, corporate rights, and direct real-estate purchases don't qualify directly

How the process runs

Establishing or joining a Ukrainian company

New or already existing.

Contributing from $100,000 to the charter capital

Strictly convertible foreign currency, cashless transfer, per foreign-investment rules.

Preparing and filing documents

Average time — about 10 months to PR card issuance, some cases from 8 months.

Maintaining the investment until PR is issued

Early withdrawal can result in the application being rejected.

Including family members

Minor children as dependents; a spouse applies after the primary applicant is approved; incapacitated parents can also be included.

A good fit if

You're ready to contribute from $100,000 to a Ukrainian company's charter capital in convertible foreign currency.

Receiving PR directly, with no intermediate temporary status, on this specific route works for you.

You're ready to maintain the investment until PR is issued, without withdrawing early.

You understand the difference between this route and the separate €100,000 temporary residence permit — you're not conflating two different products.

A poor fit if

You're looking for a temporary, more flexible status specifically — that's a separate route from €100,000, not covered on this page.

You plan to invest via buying shares, corporate rights, or real estate directly — per the available data none of these qualify for this route.

You need a fast result — average processing time is around 10 months.

You're not prepared for the risk of rejection if you withdraw the investment early, before PR is granted.

Frequent questions

Is this the same as the €100,000 temporary residence permit?

No — per the available data the source explicitly calls these fundamentally different routes: this page covers PR from $100,000 contributed to a company's charter capital; the separate €100,000 route grants only a temporary residence permit.

Can I invest by directly buying real estate?

No — per the available data a direct real-estate purchase, shares, and corporate rights don't qualify for this route; you can channel the investment through a company that buys and manages real estate instead.

How long does processing take?

Per the available data — an average of about 10 months from the start of document preparation to PR card issuance, with some cases taking as little as 8 months.

What happens if I withdraw the investment early?

Per the available data, withdrawing funds early, before PR is issued, can lead to the application being rejected.

Does the status extend to family?

Yes — per the available data minor children are included as dependents, a spouse applies after the primary applicant is approved, and incapacitated parents are also eligible for inclusion.

Overview of Ukraine's PR via investment under Article 4(1) of the Law "On Immigration": the $100,000 threshold into a Ukrainian company's charter capital, the convertible-foreign-currency and cashless-transfer requirements, the exclusion of shares/corporate rights/direct real-estate purchases for this purpose, average processing of ≈10 months, family-inclusion rules, and the risk of rejection on early withdrawal. The source explicitly distinguishes this PR route from a separate, "fundamentally different" temporary residence permit from €100,000↗
