Is it obligatory to get a residence permit in Ukraine, if I would work part time?

If a foreign citizen has an intention to work within a Ukrainian company, this company has to get a work permit to employ him. Even if the foreigner is 100% shareholder of his Ukrainian company and he wants to take the position of director in it.

This is obligatory, and not doing this is a violation and Ukrainian authorities would impose big fines  (thousands of euro) on both the foreigners and on the company, which uses their labor. 
It does not matter whether the foreigners would work part time or full time. 

When a foreigner gets a work permit, he has to apply for a temporary residence permit in Ukraine.  

Is it obligatory to get a residence permit in Ukraine for employees, who come to Ukraine from countries with visa-free regime (EU, Japan, USA and Australia)?

We would say yes. Here is why: If a company uses the labor of a foreigner, it has to pay him salary. Not paying a salary to the employee here is a criminal offence. Salary is transferred to the banking account of the foreigner, opened only in the Ukrainian bank. According to the banking regulations here, banks obligatory require a residence permit for opening a banking account. Therefore, it is important to get a residence permit for a foreign employee right after getting the work permit.
