The move is expected to increase Ukraine's attractiveness for highly qualified specialists.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine at a Wednesday meeting on deregulation issues adopted a new package of decisions; in particular, simplifying employment of foreigners.
As reported, the government decided to ease the procedure for obtaining long-term visas by foreigners seeking employment in Ukraine.
Now, foreign nationals who are already in the country will be able to submit their working visa applications to the Department of Consular Services of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs without actually leaving Ukraine. The decision is expected to increase Ukraine's attractiveness for highly qualified specialists (including independent members of the state-owned companies' supervisory boards).
