What Business Immigration Covers
Business immigration to Ukraine generally refers to obtaining residence status in Ukraine on the basis of legitimate commercial activity — most commonly through registering and operating a Ukrainian LLC (TOV). It is distinct from work permit-based immigration, which requires a Ukrainian employer.
Business immigration is suitable for Bangladeshi nationals who are self-employed, freelancers, IT professionals, traders, or small business operators who want to establish a Ukrainian legal entity and operate from Ukraine.
The Business Immigration Path
Register a Ukrainian TOV
Register a limited liability company in Ukraine with you as founder and director (remotely via power of attorney).
Timeline: 7–21 days.
Establish business activity
Open a corporate bank account, submit initial tax registration, begin commercial operations or contracting.
Required: genuine activity, not a shell structure.
Apply for Type D business visa
With company registration documents, apply for a long-stay business visa at the Ukrainian Embassy in Dhaka.
Timeline: 10–21 working days.
Apply for TRP on business grounds
After arriving in Ukraine, apply to the DMSU for a TRP on the grounds of business activity as a company founder/director.
Timeline: 15–30 working days.
Realistic Expectations
Business immigration to Ukraine provides residence status but does not guarantee business success. The Ukrainian market, the current conflict context, access to banking for foreign nationals, and regulatory compliance all require careful consideration. A legal assessment before committing to this path is strongly recommended.
