Business in Ukraine - Culture
Doing business in Ukraine is different from business in other countriesincluding the USA, England, Germany and other northern and centralEuropean countries. Here we see that foreign expatriates say about
how the business culture in Ukraine differs from other countries. Donot be surprised that most comments here are negative. Culture ofUkraine are naturally very oriented production, and may not be theeasiest place to do business, but Ukraine has other virtues - forexample, is a great place to make friends, meet interesting people,and have fun.
Accuracy and reliability in UkraineForeigners in Ukraine find that it is too late is the norm for theUkrainians. Arriving five minutes late to a meeting or a meeting isusually considered a perfectly fine.This feature can cause aggravation between foreign and Ukrainianbusiness partners. Foreigners usually adjust to the lack of consistencyover time and eventually reach the other side of the fence is late for abusiness meeting with a foreign partner themselves and surprise theother person "deep irritation."This is a sign that cultural adaptation is on trackIn Ukraine, meeting cancellations and rescheduling often, often at thelast moment. Therefore, it is always a good idea to confirm meetings.On the other hand, the confirmation of a meeting, you are giving yourbusiness partner a convenient opportunity to restructure.
Sense of personal responsibilityA fundamental difference between Ukrainian and western culture "isthat Westerners tend to assume a greater amount of individualresponsibility and rely somewhat less on the teams, while the oppositeis true in Ukraine. If doing business in Ukraine, can be used to"external forces" always getting in the way of working partners andkeeping them from their responsibilities and expectations. A commonculprit is government institutions that draw out bureaucratic issues orunexpected demand additional paperwork and formalities. Oftenorganizations of Ukraine to anticipate problems, but hope for the bestand do not warn their members of possible difficulties to be ongoing.I do not know any way to avoid this problem. My advice is to takesimple initial hopes and promises with a grain of salt, realizing that the
Ukrainian company and the government is full of unexpected "colors"that get in the way we do things quickly and efficiently.
How important is Personal connections in Ukraine?To manage their affairs in a society that is always in a state of semi-
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
9/53
confusion due to inadequate and unreasonable regulatory systems,Ukrainians rely on the power of personal contact. The contacts ingovernment institutions particularly prized as the relationship betweengovernment and business are often competitive. Moreover, theUkrainians prefer holding meetings in person to discuss business and joint resolutions and conference phone and online discussions are
now commonly used in the West. Maybe Ukrainians have a right topreference in person meetings; Only the person may be the intentionsand credibility of a sufficiently judge others "and to the resolution.Ukrainians pay more attention to emotional aspects of communicationrather than excluding them from the business, as in many Westerncountries. Many foreigners find this a waste of time, but still fun!
Interaction with the Ukrainian government bodiesThe different kind of relationship between government and business in
Ukraine is one of the biggest obstacles to greater Western investmentin the country. Of course, bureaucracy is bureaucracy in every countryand in Ukraine (as well as Russia and some other countries)government and business play games together. Different governmentagencies often have overlapping areas of responsibility and haveconflicting instructions and policies. Control and regulation of entitiesare often unpredictable act, based on rules that nobody else knows.We often hear the word "non transparent" with regard to the Ukrainiangovernment processes. What does this mean? This means that the
rules and principles of government bodies comply with the dischargeof their functions are poorly formulated and not available to thegeneral public. This lack of formal, laid-in-stone information ismaddening to many Ukrainian businessmen and foreigners. Even if itseems that the rules should be recorded, "evidence" (or "colors," whatthey want to say in Ukraine ), such as selecting agents office hours,availability of necessary forms, and more than expected lines caneasily throw everything in unison. It seems that nothing has been doneto make the system work more smoothly and efficiently. Western
businessmen often know exactly what changes should be made to thesystem to make our lives easier, but never made. What is the reason?
The immediate reason seems to be that all these contradictions,redundancies, and the disruption that allows government agencies tokeep businesses and citizens in a state of uncertainty andsubmissiveness that can exploit for their own benefit, if necessary .Historically, different types of corruption has flourished in Ukraine, andcompanies are forced to seek personal relationships with officers ofgovernment for their safety and access to information. In most westerncountries are usually not critical to the success of companies inperson to have good contacts in government agencies. In Ukraine it is.This situation often seem threatening and dangerous for Westerners,

and it's really hard to adjust. To effectively run a large company inUkraine, should be adapted to existing communication styles, to someextent, even if you feel like you are "compromising your principles."Remember - they come from your upbringing and can not be absolute,like you used to think.
Leadership style in UkraineForeigners from the West will find some different styles of leadershipin Ukrainian organizations. The Ukrainians do not take personalresponsibility so easily and west of society which prepares them forleadership roles from kindergarten up. After becoming a leader, manyUkrainians become more authoritarian and change their attitudetowards their colleagues, who themselves have an ingrainedsubservient attitude toward authority - a well known feature ofUkrainians, especially the Russians.
Among the Western entrepreneurs, democratic and fair leadershipstyle is definitely more common, and leaders are more likely todelegate. In Ukraine, the leaders tend to focus more decision-makingin the hands of their faith and allegiance to demand their employees inconjunction with work-related skills. In the new capitalist Ukraine,many employers resort to exhaustive and aggressive interrogationtechniques designed to weed out "weak" potential employees who cannot take the heat or pressure dislike.
Job search and discrimination in UkraineIt is common for vacancies in Ukraine to determine the age andgender of potential employees. Fortunately, she and other personalinformation such as marital status given to the top of the CVs ofvirtually all Ukrainians. In the new economic realities of post-SovietUkraine, many people find it almost impossible to find work after 45.Furthermore, discrimination against the new job, married women arecommon, and sometimes women even asked if you plan on havingchildren soon to job interviews. Of course, such questions are quite
reasonable from the employer side's point of view, but the grids withWestern ethical sense "and modern ideas of human rights. With moretraditional values of Ukraine, discrimination is often not treated withthe same disgust, as in the U.S.Western business people often encounter interesting situations whenthey come over to Ukraine to do business. On the one hand, businesspartners, we must treat them as equals, to perform the necessarytasks. On the other hand, social etiquette demands facing the woman"like a woman" sort of all gestures typical macho-or special grace anda more emotional approach than usual. Effective entrepreneurs knowhow to use this to their advantage them, instead of taking constantattack. If your colleagues use may be called "manipulation" tactics,have every right to deal in return, feigning supreme gratitude opens

doors for you and show sympathy for you around their subordinates .
Industrial relations in UkraineBesides the organizations strains tyrannize their employees, relationsbetween Ukrainians in the workplace tend to be slightly warmer andmore openly emotional than Protestant western countries where
distances and are the rule. The workers usually celebrate theirbirthdays at work by colleagues to treat chocolate, champagne, cake,or even more elaborate buffets, and companies often allocate themoney spent on birthday gifts for employees. Ukrainians tend to makeemotional bonds and easily find comradery and moral support in theiremployment.Labour and business in UkraineThis section contains a mix of useful services and practical informationfor those interested in working, doing business and investing in
Ukraine. The information and services presented here are reallyhelpful - just read this story.These days many people from the West and the East as interested incoming to Ukraine to work and do business. Hundreds or thousands ofexpatriates already living and working here successfully. Despite thefact that each person has his own reasons for coming to Ukraine towork, there seem several reasons:Ukraine seems to be on your way to becoming a European country,
which means that over the next decades the country will require
extensive economic and infrastructure development. If the newgovernment * makes good on campaign promises, Ukraine will soonbecome a more attractive place to do business.* I wrote this before Yanukovich became prime minister!Many foreign men interested in meeting and marrying the women of
Ukraine, and come here to work and live for a time seems to be agreat way to meet people in a natural environment, and to experiencethe culture and language .The students in Russia and Ukraine see Ukraine as a good place to
gain work experience and language for a future career related toEastern Europe.Ukraine, with the low [but rising] cost of living, economic transition,
and "back" of society (from a Western point of view), seems to attractadventurous soulslooking for a new kind of lifestyle.Getting a job in UkraineOne way to come to Ukraine and make a decent living is to teachEnglish or another foreign language. We have created a specialdepartment to help you do this and save you much time. Some kind ofcertification or teaching experience is usually required, so I suggestyou get an online certificate teaching English (after taking an onlinecourse of instruction) in a region like www.onlinetefl.com

Another way is to get a job with an international company or agencythat hires foreigners. Everyone dreams of going to work in Ukraineand earning a Western salary doing the same thing they do at home.However, such exposures are difficult to find and are usually notwidely advertised. Many international companies seeking foreignworkers through their branches abroad, with no posting job
advertisements on the Internet. If the intention of finding a job with aninternational company, companies find contact information on theInternet and write to tell them what you want and what yourqualifications. They resume ready to send. Many companies areforever on the lookout for good, qualified. To persisent, and perhapsyou will find something eventually, if you are really qualified and havesomething to offer the organization.To hire a foreign citizen legally, Ukrainian employers must apply for awork permit. In the past, this requirement was often ignored, but not
anymore. To get a work permit, the company must prove that yourwork can be done by a Ukrainian. The process of obtaining a permitfrom the city employment office can be difficult. I've heard ofcompanies getting foreign work permits as "translators" even thoughthere is to do completely different work, as foreign uniqueness as anative compiler is easier to prove. Some companies are still payingforeign workers under the table, but this can not be a good long termstrategy. However, you may be able to register as a privatebusinessman (and pay taxes in Ukraine!) The final application for
permanent residency, which is basically the equivalent of a U.S."green card" that allows you to work and live on the same grounds ascitizens of Ukraine.- More work permits by PriceWaterhouse Cooper
Internships in Ukraine
A great way to meet better the Ukraine, perfect your Russian or
Ukrainian skills, and test the waters for a possible career in Ukraine or
Eastern Europe to come here for an internship. We currently offer this
service only for the Ukrainian foreign or speak Russian. Read more
about the practice in Ukraine and organizations interested in foreign
students.
*** NOTE: Since autumn 2007 internships are no longer offered. Thisservice can be resumed sometime in the future.

Creating your own business in Ukraine
Another option is to create your own business and register. Although
the law requires a work permit to work for someone else, you work for
yourself with the same rights as Ukrainian. Foreigners have createdmany successful business language teaching, bars and nightclubs,
and even publishers. Starting up a business can be difficult if you do
not Ukraine or Russia and Ukraine have not for ages. You can create
your own or use the expensive services of several law firms in English
(French, German, etc.) speaking lawyers. Also, we strongly
recommend my friend, who is a private legal consultant and can
provide all the same services but at a more reasonable price.Learn about registration as a private businessman here

- Historically, the investment climate in Ukraine has gone up and down
and has not yet been sufficiently attractive to bring in the necessary
amounts of capital from the developed world. Factors commonly
referred to as factors that hinder investment in Ukraine is poor legal
protection of investment, corruption and double standards, and
unclear or contradictory legislature. The situation will not likely change
for the better in the near future, as these factors are deeply rooted in
the system and mentality. This makes investment in Ukraine
unpredictable, but potentially very lucrative, because the economy is
growing at a rate above the European average.

Ukraine Real Estate
-
How to participate in the burgeoning real estate market of Ukraine
Main materials written in November 2005
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
14/53
- Many foreign visitors to Ukraine are well aware that the property
market in Ukraine has grown rapidly. Apartment prices in Kiev and
other major Ukrainian cities have "gone through the roof" in the past
several years. Happy indeed, investors who bought real estate
(apartments) in cities of Ukraine in the early '90s for a few thousanddollars and have seen their property increase in value by an average
of 20-40% a year ago. Add to that revenues from the rental apartment
and have a very profitable advantage!
- Many investors decided to enter the market of Ukraine since the
Orange Revolution (November-December 2004), which showed that
the country has strong democratic and European orientation, and will
probably continue to move in that direction. As we see below, theacquisition of real estate in Ukraine is not difficult.
Property, assessment models
- Property assessment began in early 1990 after the Ukrainian
economy hit bottom and was particularly strong in Kiev, Odessa, Lviv,
Dnepropetrovsk and other cities. Shortly thereafter, the value in resort
areas of the Crimea began climbing, and now real estate prices in
Yalta are often even more than in Ukraine's capital Kiev. In the late'90s began rising property values in the Carpathian region and other
regions desired holiday throughout the country. There are very few
places in Ukraine, where there is price action occurred after the post-
Soviet economic collapse, but in general property prices in villages
and small cities around Ukraine remains very low.
Property prices show no sign of halting their growth, and real estate
analysts generally agree that the fundamental causes of rising prices
for Ukrainian cities will continue to raise prices for many years at least.
Read my special report on real estate in Crimea
Causes of the real estate boom in Ukraine
One of the reasons for rising real estate prices in Ukraine are:
-
Low levels of housing per capita in Soviet times
Soviet system kept by people who move to big cities, but now may
opportunities and capital are concentrated in big cities
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
15/53
Increasing income levels in cities and resort areas
Lack of alternative investment
distrust of banks after losing their life savings during the inflation and
the banking crisis of the early 1990s
increase accessibility of bank loans and mortgages
- This outbreak occurred despite high interest rates. When they finally
lower rates, demand for property will probably increase further.
While many U.S. investors are rushing to buy property abroad REO
deals remain attractive.
Documents required for buying property in Ukraine
Any foreigner can buy real estate in Ukraine is a permanent residentor visa. Foreigners can buy any property other than non-privatized
property and agricultural land, however, almost all foreign investors
interested in urban properties. It's just some of the documents
required for transfer of housing in Ukraine:
Passport
- Ukraine taxpayer identification code certificate; This can be done in
Kiev (learn how to do this here), or agent (for example,uaproperty.com) can do this for you with your passport and an
attorney
- if the purchaser is married and comes in Ukraine is not his wife or
her: a copy of marriage certificate, copy of passport of spouse,
notarized copy of the consent of her husband to buy property in
Ukraine
- Ukrainian property can be purchased through an estate agents are
not attending the buyer. However, for obvious reasons, almost all
buyers of expensive properties they prefer to deal with the individual.
- Getting money to Ukraine property market. Opening a bank account
- Up to $ 15,000 U.S. dollars can be imported into Ukraine without
special documents (until recently was $ 10,000). Most foreign property
buyers open a bank account in Ukraine and the transfer of money
from abroad. Then money can either be transferred to seller's bank
account or taken in cash. Opening a bank account in Ukraine is easy
and requires these documents:

16/53
Passport
-
Certificate Code taxpayer
-
Proof of foreign origin of the money (if a foreigner gives money to theaccount after opening); Declaration of a custom imported from
Ukraine, a testament to the bank for exchanging cash or travelers
checks, or proof of bank receipt of cash by credit or debit card
A good bank to open an account at this PrivatBank. Besides an easy
process for opening an account and have hundreds of outlets
throughout Ukraine and has a convenient transport system on the
Internet that allows you to transfer money into your account online.Other banks are starting to catch up with PrivatBank to online banking,
too.
The costs to acquire property in Ukraine
-
In the property market by 1% tax paid on the amount of sales and
other 1% is paid by Ukraine for pension funds. Buyers and sellers
settle on who will pay the fees and state that the sale agreement.Estate agents usually charge 3-5% of the value of the property for
their services. Finally, buyers can purchase an insurance policy for the
property for 1% of the real estate office.
-
Real estate investors are closely monitoring the policy and the
forthcoming parliamentary elections 2006 in Ukraine. There was talk
of implementing a tax on capital appreciation of 13% for residents and
26% for nonresidents, effective at the time of sale, which could
significantly affect the market. This tax will be paid the difference
between the price of the property was originally acquired and the price
sold for.
Real property improvements and maintenance
In most cases foreign buyers immediately newly renovated homes
usually cost $ 10-15 thousand dollars for repairs and construction.
Some estate agents offer construction supervision services.
uaproperty.com, for example, charges 6% of construction costs for
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
17/53
their services.
To create new structures for the property acquired, all homeowners
must obtain a building permit. Many locals and foreigners choose to
pay builders (usually around $ 500 or more) to make the whole
process for them - from the preparation of architectural plans to standin line in all government departments to put seal of approval on
projects.
Property maintenance costs in Ukraine are generally very low. Utilities
are usually about $ 15-30 a month for an average apartment, and no
property taxes (other than the tax paid on the sale of property).
-
Foreign property owners in Ukraine, often the installation of securitysystems, especially if they are renting their properties.
Property is always rented out usually requires periodic repair, which
can add up to 5-20% of rent.
Renting property in Ukraine
-
Typical rental prices for Ukrainian cities are usually 5-10% of the value
of the property annually, or 0.8% per month. In other words, a partitionthat would sell today for $ 40,000 dollars would probably cost $ 160-
320 a month for rent (closer to the middle of this range is more
typical).
Many brokerage firms offer rental property and care services, allowing
foreign owners do not have to worry about their property at all. The
owners may agree to get rent from the organization periodically and
have the money to be deposited Ukrainian bank account.
-
Taxes on rental property
- Make money from rental property is taxed in Ukraine. If the owners
are residents of Ukraine taxes you must pay 26% for income from
rental real estate - twice the rate of 13% (flat tax on income) for
residents.
The owners of the highest end apartments or multiple properties to
find it worthwhile to register as private entrepreneurs and to pay a
fixed monthly amount instead of percentage-based income taxes on
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
18/53
the money derived from rent. This pattern of tax of about $ 40 U.S.
dollars will not change for each level of income related to business
activity is less than 500 thousand UAH (about $ 100,000) annually.
-
Foreigners can also create a Ukrainian company, which is a taxresident of Ukraine. This company will pay various types of taxes on
earnings and also be able to legally acquire privatized and non-
agricultural land by non-residents are not able to acquire by law. Once
land has been privatized and developed, the property can be
transferred abroad through legal means owner.
-
Money that could prove legally that they have won in Ukraine can bemoved or transferred from the country with the necessary
documentation. However, most foreigners prefer to leave profits in
Ukrainian bank and use it within Ukraine.
Business Opportunity - Ukraine-plastic film
-
I've gotten some inquiries about investment opportunities in Ukraine,
so I thought I would post some here in between trying to figure outwhat's happening here politically. This is a more specific, but some will
be more generalized analysis of business opportunities.
Ukrainian factory buildings and modernization of equipment
Business: manufacture plastic films used for packaging candy,
agricultural bagging and packaging, containers of dairy products
(bags), packaging, detergents, food packaging, etc. (Ukraine has a
vast field of food processing.)
-
Amount required: $ 6 - $ 10 million to upgrade facilities and
equipment. (Potential for joint venture.)
-
Market: The manufacturer is looking for a position the company to
benefit from two market opportunities. The first is manufacturing
packaging to customer specifications allow for direct sale to the
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
19/53
customer. Cut several layers of the supply chain resulting in cost
savings.
The second market is the supply Twispan local movie candy to save
cost and time. 80% said the product is imported. A minimum order of17 tonnes is required to make the order. (Local customers were pool
should come up to the minimum.) Imports are causing delays of 7 to
14 days and results in cost values for the input. Local production will
save time and lead to cheaper products.
Other potential markets: Is it possible to export to the CIS region and
Europe.-
Technology and infrastructure: The company is using older
technology, but looking to upgrade the status of art. The factory
premises are mainly remnants of the Soviet era, so you must also be
modernized.
Finding a Job in Ukraine through the Internet
This page is to help those seeking work in Ukraine through the
Internet. Of course, this is not an easy thing to do, but hard work and
persistence can bring results. I just read this success story from a
reader TryUkraine.com.
First of all, to my knowledge, there are almost no useful websites with
job postings Ukraine especially for foreigners. There are a couple with
occasional postings as EscapeArtists.com. You can find other similar
sites with almost no useful information by searching Google for
"Ukraine employment," Employment Ukraine, "etc.
Kyiv Post Employment Ads
The most interesting job advertisements in the English language is the
site of the Kyiv Post and the weekly editions of the newspaper Kyiv
Post. However, you will notice that the focus is on jobs for locals
speaking English, not foreigners. The largest audience Kyiv Post is an
English-speaking Ukrainians. Positions are advertised tend to be
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
20/53
prestigious businesses and organizations. Most jobs are high profile.
Sometimes, after the mini-biographies of aliens at The Kiev Post. This
is definitely not a bad idea. If you are not yet in Ukraine, please send
your ad or mini-resume by fax to agree to a form of payment. Ads
come out every Thursday.Search Ukrainian workplace
The opportunities to find employment is higher when using Ukrainian
job search sites. The first three are rabota.com.ua, ajob.com.ua, and
job.bigmir.net. There are many others as well, but tend to be
redundant.

Most likely you will choose the "single tax" option (one of three options
for taxation). This is the best choice for consultants, language, and
other specialists. You will have a fixed monthly tax consists of two
parts, one end tax set by local tax authorities of around 20-200 UAH
(usually 200 Hryvnia), and a contribution to the insurance fund
(essentially, social security) currently 84 UAH. This means your
monthly fixed charge would be over $ 54 dollars, regardless of your
monthly salary (as long as your annual income is under $ 100,000
USD)!
Tax payment schedule
The tax from your local tax authorities (usually these days 200 UAH /
mo.) Paid by the 20th of each month for the next month. You can also
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
22/53
choose to pay for up to three months earlier. In other words, your
deadline for paying your taxes for May is April 20. If you hire
employees (up to ten allowed) will have to pay social security taxes
quarterly as well.
If you leave the country or otherwise discountinuing activities of yourbusiness, you can report the incident to the local office of tax and is
not required to pay taxes for the months that do not.
Accounting and fines
Private entreneurs who pay the "single tax" is supposed to monitor
activities related to the costs and benefits in a register book given to
them when they register with the tax administration. Bookkeeping is
not as strict as those who use the standard choice of taxes, requiringthem to document adequately all profits and deductible expenses.
"Single taxpayer", you can control or monitor - but as I said in the tax
administration, bookkeeping you are a formality, and there are fines
for poor record keeping. After all, your tax burden does not depend on
earnings or business-related expenditure
Passport registration in Ukraine
Ukrainian law requires foreigners to register their passports in Ukraine
within 3 months of their arrival (in the last 6 months for citizens of the
United States and possibly in some other countries). Registration is
valid for up to 6 months and may be extended. The purpose of
registration is for the state to know is you, and make sure there is a
donor or calling party may be fine if they break laws on immigration. In
addition, you will need your passport to register to register as a private
entrepreneur, or create legal entities.
If not, operating in Ukraine and flee the country every three months or
less (six months for U.S. citizens) do not need to register. Most recent
entry stamp you substitute for registration and shows that you are in
the country less than the time required for registration.
Crossing the borders of Ukraine to prevent the entry
To avoid having to register their passports, many foreigners in Ukraine
Ukraine just make sure they leave every three months (or six, if the
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
23/53
USA). By entering Ukraine will automatically receive a stamp in your
passport as a substitute for registration for three or six months. So, all
you can do to prevent the entry is cross the border and get a new
stamp in your passport. OVIR officers said - and I do this - it is
perfectly fine to go to an international border crossing (for example,between Krakow and Lviv, Uzhhorod and Kosice, and Chernivtsi and
Suceava), cross by bus, car, bicycle, or on foot, and immediately
returned to their country a few minutes later the other side (make sure
you do not need a visa to another country, though!). New entry stamp
allows you to be in another three months (or six months) did not
record. Ask OVIR officers registration period applies to citizens of your
country. The registration period which used to be three days (still inRussia)!
Where to begin recording
To begin the registration process, you must go to the local city office
of the Department of Citizenship, immigration and registration
(commonly called OVIR, or "VVIR" if transcribed from Ukrainian) and
get the necessary forms and review any additional requirements for
registering the type of visa officers OVIR. Always carry your passportwith you when you visit OVIR, as officers will always want to look at it,
check your identity, and consider the type of visa and border crossing
your dates.
I recommend to start the registration process no later than one week
prior three months (or six months), the period expires. Registration
may require multiple visits to OVIR, which can have hours of operation
are scattered throughout the week. Find the address of your local
town office or by calling the 09 OVIR intelligence (Ukrainian Voice).
If you are late registering, you will regret it very much! They should be
fined and go through additional red tape "and then go through the
registration process again from scratch. Read more about this below.
Register your passport will occupy an entire page of your passport. It
will show the registration period, the name of the calling party, and
where you live in Ukraine.
Requirements for registration
The actual registration process can be time consuming itself. The
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
24/53
forms you need depends on the type of visa. If you have a private
visa, you will only need forms for you and the person calling you home
or where you live on. If you have a business or service visa, you will
need a form for you, for the person whose house you live in, and the
organization will be invited.Employers hiring foreign workers and obtain a work permit usually
take care of passport registration as well. In addition, there are
services that will cater for all the formalities for you, saving you many
visits to OVIR and local utility services ("ZHEK").
To submit your passport to a private visa, you will need:
2 photos
a copy of your passport (including visa page and the latest entrystamp)
passport of the person calling
your form and format of the call party
proof of payment of registration fees (probably 33 UAH, or $ 6.50
USD), which you usually pay a bank next to or inside the building
OVIR
You need to ask the officers to OVIR the exact amount of paymentand where to do so. There will also be a small handling fee bank of 5
UAH or less.
Confirm these conditions officers OVIR before bringing your
documents for recording. May require additional documents, for
example, a lease agreement or a stamp ZHEK (local housing office
utilities) on the implementation of the calling party.
Seal the ZHEK
The purpose of this stamp is to confirm that ZHEK know that someone
else will live in this address. The ZHEK is responsible for utilities and
building maintenance, as well as issuing passports to citizens of
Ukraine and anything related to establishing residence in a particular
location.
Trying to get into ZHEK may take several attempts and should be
done by the owner of apartment living at. The ZHEK may ask to see
the "alien" in his passport as well, and may or may not require the
homeowner to fill out another form that says you can stay in their
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
25/53
apartment through a certain date. The ZHEK must know the number
of people living in the apartment, to compute the cost of utilities for the
apartment. As a result, many homeowners are not thrilled about
having to register a foreign (or any rentors) office ZHEK.
If you are in Ukraine on a business, service, or other type of visa otherthan the requirements listed above should also:
a completed form from your organization call
a copy (not notarized is fine) organization or government company
registration certificate (indicating when and where the organization
was registered and legal address and name of official)
a copy (not notarized is fine) organization or business license bureau
of statistics (as shown in the organization of activity)IMPORTANT: The purpose of the registration forms for requesting
parties is to make sure that someone will pay for breaches of
immigration law and deport you if the case may be. These parties
should not necessarily be the same parties will be invited for a visa
you. It can technically be any organization or individual who is willing
to take administrative responsibility for you while you are in Ukraine.
We need to work for the organization (which would require a workpermit) or have business relationships with them.
*** NOTICE *** 10/24/2007
A couple of different sources said that when told OVIR that they can
get their passport is registered in Ukraine does not have a visa. This
process essentially makes a vision completely unnecessary. Check
local OVIR your city for details if this does not apply to your home
country.
Extend your subscription
To extend your registration, you must repeat the entire process
described above. There is no difference between getting the first
record you and extend your subscription. Start the process, less than
one week before the period of registration.
What happens if I fail to register on time in Ukraine
If you lose your mandatory registration date (3 or 6 months after the
last registration in Ukraine, as mentioned above), inviting you and your
party will have to pay a fine (currently 340-680 UAH for the alien and
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
26/53
0-840 UAH for the calling party), even if you're one day late.
Specifications can be deported if you are late or way too late to
register more than once; However, the expulsion measure is
extremely rare.
If you are late for registration, you must go to town with OVIR callingyour party (individual whose home you live in an invitation or
organization, as appropriate) and write a statement (by hand is fine)
from each of you explaining the reason for slow you. OVIR officers will
take these statements and to set a date for you and calling your party
to appear in "court" together. Most likely, the officer OVIR its
comments, together with the statement, based on conversations with
you."Test" will probably consist of some questions by the judge in his
office. The judge will decide the size of the fine be paid. You should go
to the nearest Sberkassa (state bank) and pay the fine, return the
receipt, give the Registrar of the court, and returned to pick up a copy
of a court decision several days later. Subsequently, this document
should go back to OVIR and complete the registration process regular
passport with the attached decision of the court.As you can see, solving traffic problems may take several weeks, so
make sure you keep track of the subscription period and you either
sign or return to Ukraine within the period. Also note that you will need
the signature of the owner of the apartment you are staying at, so if
the owner is abroad you may have problems! Thus, the plan in
advance.

Tips for Business Travelers in Ukraine
Visas:Canadians do not need visas to enter Ukraine if you do not intend to
stay there for more than 90 days. In this case, it is strongly
recommended that Canadian visitors apply for a visa to Canada by the
Ukrainian Embassy in Ottawa or the Consulate of Ukraine in Toronto.
A minimum of two weeks required for processing. Note: Travellers
planning a trip across the border to Russia must have a visa. It is
advisable to apply for a visa at the Russian embassy in Canada.
Transportation:
The Boryspil international airport with two terminals adjacent to the
national and international traffic, is 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the
center of Kiev. Currently there are two direct flights a week from
Ukraine to Canada conducted Aerosvit, the Ukrainian airline. Air
Canada operates through London, Frankfurt, Paris and Madrid. Major
airlines fly to Kiev and some European Dnipropetrovsk and Odessa.
Ukraine International Airlines flies to almost all European capitals and
in Asia. The railway system is efficient and covers the whole of
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
29/53
Ukraine.
Study the market carefully before making a decision to investigate.
Market development and entry costs are generally high, and long-term
strategy is necessary when seeking opportunities. Hire an
experienced consultant with experience in the interest of yourbusiness.
2. Products can be introduced quickly to the Ukrainian market, but
should be competitively priced. Purchasing power is low and
competition from neighboring industrial countries is high. A Canadian
product must be either unique or very affordable.
3. There is little transparency in business, legal and regulatory
environment. Ukrainian laws and regulations are vague and open toconsiderable latitude in interpretation, provides great opportunities for
bureaucratic corruption at all levels.
4. Locating a reliable business partner is crucial to success. A meeting
of mind with your partner and establishing a "win-win" situation is
important. Otherwise, when you leave the country, your colleagues
can do whatever they want. Moreover, hiring a distributor with
contacts in state committees and government bodies is invaluable asthe state bureaucracy continues to play a major role in business
transactions and certification.
5. When evaluating any opportunity in Ukraine, Canadians need to
determine where, when and how they should be paid. Speculate on
this point often leads to frustration. It is also imperative to have an exit
strategy. This applies to any investment you make in Ukraine.
6. Do not do anything in Ukraine would not do in Canada. Ukrainians
quickly learn how to avoid honest business and you may be back with
the same currency.
7. Communications in Ukraine is still below Western standards. Not all
businesses are aware of the importance of a Web site or even an e-
mail. Dedicated fax lines are rare. The Ukrainians did not want to
leave messages on answering machines.
8. If you are a Ukrainian Canadian Ukrainian avoid giving your
partners sought advice on how to do business in Ukraine. Take it for
granted that business conditions are not as transparent and regulated
8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG
30/53
as in Canada.
9. The attitudes of ordinary people to foreigners is more than
welcoming. Do not hesitate to ask for instructions if you have lost.
Ukrainians have a good sense of humor and appreciate that in other
nationalities. When invited to someone's house for dinner, do notcome empty-handed. A bottle of wine or a box of chocolates, flowers,
together with the hostess, will be welcome. It is also a good idea to
bring some small gifts for children in the family.

Second, often only foreigners to have their qualifications, particularly
in the production, marketing, or management.
Thirdly, the work associated with the need to tune up output highly
competitive articles should apply knowledge of Western technicians
who know with imported machinery. That is why the issue of
employment and work activities of foreigners in Ukraine is still urgent.
Inna GRIGORYEVA,

of the situation of foreign workers. This process is governed by
existing labor laws of Ukraine and other legislative acts of Ukraine.
Foreign nationals may immigrate to Ukraine is temporarily employedand working in accordance with a duly issued license.
The policy of issuing no less interesting than the specific list of

territory, have been discovered;

Ukrainian legislation does not provide limitations on the award of any
contracts with foreign policy. Parties are free to enter into an
agreement to choose a partner, and determine the terms of the
contract. Consequently, a company may enter into any civil contractwith a foreigner for the provision of services.

should not forget about paying taxes and various fees. Currently the
tax rate on income from wages, regardless of the source of payment,
payable in a foreign employer is 15% of the tax base. Insurance fees

It should be, or have a football player, golfer, bowler, tennis player,
Cricketer, darts player, sailor, pigeon fancier, motor racer and linguist,

To be successful, an hotelier must keep a full bar, full house, stores

Unusual Business IdeasSuccessful operation during the global financial crisis
Europe, Asia and the U.S. faced a severe economic crisis which is allbusiness market. Both multinational corporations and small
businesses lose their positions and seek to improve the situation.Internet is full of different methods to combat the crisis, but frankly I'mnot sure if it will work in real life. The only sure way to avoid financialproblems that I've found so far is to use the label "crisis" in yourbusiness. We really have to admit that "economic crisis" is now one ofthe most popular and widely used brands!
A good example of how to make money for the crisis is a restaurantthat recently opened in Lvov, Ukraine - "Antikrizova knaipa"
(translation from Ukrainian - "Anti this cafe-bar". At the end of 2008Ukrainian businessman Yuri Nazaruk plans to open a cafe in Lvov, butdid not get the credit bank. Mr. Nazaruk not get discouraged andchanged their business plans - opening a small cafe anti-budget crisis.
The interior of the "Anti this cafe-bar" are mostly hand: simple shelveswith homemade pickles and vegetables "grandmother" jam, jars ofdollars and euros (a gentle hint to the fact that bank deposits are nowsafe), etc..
Walls are painted with slogans "We need Egypt! Lets go toCarpathian Mountains (Ukraine resort)! . Menu consists of simple andinexpensive as the traditional dishes of Ukrainian borsch soup,mashed potatoes with fried eggs, sandwiches, garlic bread and more.Waiters give small change (to a few dollars) to roast sunflower seeds(a popular Ukrainian snack) .A good combination of an impressive idea, no advertising costs

But we all know thatthe price for the special occasion cakes are sky-high and this amountcould be spent on something more useful.Well, now it is no longer a problem! American FunCakes rental
company forged plates made of foam, but covered in real fondant to
look like a real culinary chef d'oeuvre! There is a special partition onthe cake to save edible piece of real cake for the bride and groomfeed. Then the display cake is taken back to the kitchen and guestsare served regular sheet cake from a local bakery or wholesale store.It seems like a perfect unusual idea for a small business niche.

Europe, Asia and the U.S. faced a severe economic crisis which is allbusiness market. Both multinational corporations and smallbusinesses lose their positions and seek to improve the situation.Internet is full of different methods to combat the crisis, but frankly I'mnot sure if it will work in real life. The only sure way to avoid financialproblems that I've found so far is to use the label "crisis" in yourbusiness. We really have to admit that "economic crisis" is now one ofthe most popular and widely used brands!

At the end of 2008Ukrainian businessman Yuri Nazaruk plans to open a cafe in Lvov, butdid not get the credit bank. Mr. Nazaruk not get discouraged andchanged their business plans - opening a small cafe anti-budget crisis.
The interior of the "Anti this cafe-bar" are mostly hand: simple shelveswith homemade pickles and vegetables "grandmother" jam, jars of
dollars and euros (a gentle hint to the fact that bank deposits are nowsafe), etc..
Walls are painted with slogans "We need Egypt! Lets go toCarpathian Mountains (Ukraine resort)! . Menu consists of simple andinexpensive as the traditional dishes of Ukrainian borsch soup,mashed potatoes with fried eggs, sandwiches, garlic bread and more.Waiters give small change (to a few dollars) to roast sunflower seeds(a popular Ukrainian snack) .A good combination of an impressive idea, no advertising costs
(many newspapers wrote about this site) and strong brand "crisis" inthis cafe really popular and guarantees a stable income. Do you have
