The obligation to terminate foreign citizenship
Declaration on absence of foreign citizenship (for stateless persons) or the obligation to terminate foreign citizenship (for foreigners).
Foreigners granted the refugee status in Ukraine or asylum in Ukraine, instead of the obligation to terminate foreign citizenship submit the Declaration of abandonment of a person granted refugee status in Ukraine or asylum in Ukraine, from foreign citizenship.
Performance of the obligation to terminate foreign citizenship is not required from foreigners who are citizens (nationals) of the States whose legislation envisages automatic termination of citizenship of persons (citizenship) of these States simultaneously with the acquisition of citizenship of another state, or if the international treaties of Ukraine with other States, the citizens of which are foreigners, provide for the termination of citizenship of persons of these States simultaneously with the acquisition of the citizenship of Ukraine.
Foreigners who submitted an obligation to terminate foreign citizenship shall submit a document to this effect issued by the the competent authority of the state concerned, to the authorized authority of Ukraine within two years from the date of their acceptance for the citizenship of Ukraine. If foreigners, having all required law of that state the grounds for obtaining such the document, independent of their reasons, can’t get it they submit a Declaration of renunciation of foreign citizenship.
