IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? The Ministry of Economic Development has suspended processing of accreditation cards for Russian nationals who are invited to work in a foreign company’s Ukrainian representative office. The suspension is also in effect for foreigners of any nationality who are sent by a Russian company to work at a Ukraine branch office.
What does the change mean? These applications are currently on hold until further notice.
Background: The Ministry has said that it has stopped processing any accreditation card applications involving Russian citizens sent to work in a Ukraine office regardless of the parent company’s country and Ukrainian representative offices of Russian companies. The Ministry said it was following verbal instructions from authorities.
BAL Analysis: Because of the conflict in Ukraine, employers should expect sudden changes to policies regarding Russian nationals. BAL is following these developments and will update clients with any changes.
