## What your border paperwork includes

- Leaving and entering Ukraine with minors, powers of attorney for an accompanying adult
- Customs rules on entry into Ukraine and into the Republic of Moldova
- Ukrainian visas for foreign nationals
- Obtaining a residence permit in Ukraine

Travelling with a child who, on paper, is not yours is a common border problem. The documents are simple to prepare in advance: powers of attorney for an adult accompanying minors leaving or entering Ukraine. Also covered: customs rules on entry into Ukraine and Moldova, Ukrainian visas for foreign nationals and a residence permit in Ukraine.

## How we prepare papers for the Ukrainian border

In Ukraine we work with partner lawyers, mostly remotely: many matters can be resolved without leaving Moldova. If a trip is unavoidable, a lawyer can go with you. If you need to be there in person, we tell you at the first consultation, before any payment.

1. **Free consultation** — What is needed, whether you must go to Ukraine, what it costs — within 1 business day.
2. **Preparing documents** — Applications, powers of attorney, translations — we prepare it all.
3. **Filing and follow-up** — We file for you or, if you must attend in person, prepare you for the visit. We track the status and answer requests.
4. **The result** — You collect your documents at the Chișinău office.
