For Bangladeshi Long-Term Residents
A Bangladeshi national who maintains lawful TRP status continuously for 5 years — with timely renewals, no deportation orders, no criminal convictions — may apply for permanent residence. The application requires documentation of the entire 5-year period: all prior TRPs, work permits, employment history, and proof of absence from Ukraine not exceeding 6 months in any year.
Permanent residence does not confer citizenship, but it removes the need to renew residence status annually and removes the employment ground requirement — a PRP holder can change employers without a new TRP application.
