Citizenship of any state means a person’s belonging to a particular territory. However, during our lives, many of us want to change our native citizenship due to political, religious or other beliefs. For some, this remains an unattainable dream, while others prefer to change reality to suit themselves.

Unfortunately, there is a belief in society that it is impossible to obtain another citizenship unless you were born in that state, renew your citizenship, or have blood relatives living there. However, this is not true!

The legislation of Ukraine provides for the following grounds for inclusion in the Ukrainian nation, in addition to family ties:

1. Investing in the economy of Ukraine over 100 thousand dollars (in this case, you can either obtain Ukrainian citizenship or obtain a permanent residence permit);
2. Adoption of citizenship.

Mechanism of naturalization

As for the algorithm for obtaining citizenship, in any case, this procedure is not easy, and the implementation period will take years.

Regarding the first option: To obtain Ukrainian citizenship, you need:

• invest the specified amount in a Ukrainian enterprise;
• register the “capital injection”;
• receive a confirmation certificate;
• collect a package of documents to submit to the migration service;
• give the papers to the authorized SMS employee on this issue;
• obtain citizenship (the wait will take more than a year).

If you have decided to obtain Ukrainian citizenship by naturalization, you will have to contact only one authority: the migration service. Of course, to implement such a plan, you need to fulfill a number of requirements, which must be subsequently confirmed by documents:

• recognition and implementation of the Constitution;
• good knowledge of the Ukrainian language;
• living in Ukraine for the last 5 years;
• having a stable source of income;
• renouncing other citizenship.

In addition, it should be clarified that when obtaining Ukrainian citizenship, the State Migration Service will first issue you with a confirmation of acceptance into citizenship, and only after that you need to contact the passport office to issue a passport of a citizen of Ukraine. By resorting to the help of migration lawyers, you will not have to delve into the nuances of the procedure and, even more so, deal with its implementation.

The client is only required to provide the necessary information regarding the fulfillment of the conditions for admission to citizenship, as well as a minimum package of documents. After that, migration lawyers will get down to their work and keep the client informed of the progress of the case.
