Do I need to exchange my European driver's license if I apply for a permanent residence permit in Ukraine?

According to the legislation in force in Ukraine, if you are getting a permanent residence in Ukraine, your present European driving license would be valid for 60 days from the date of getting the permanent residence permit. After that term you are obliged to exchange it for the Ukrainian one, having passed the theoretical and practical exam for driving. These exams are passed with the road control police department at the place of your residence in Ukraine.

In case you get the temporary residence permit on any grounds, including the work permit or marriage, than your present driving license, issued in a foreign country, would be valid for all the term of your temporary stay in Ukraine (if the driver's license is of international type).

Please, contact One Stop Ukraine for more information on the ways of getting a work permit or residency in Ukraine.
