Business asks to liberalize rules for hiring foreign workers

Companies seek simpler procedures and faster approvals

Ukrainian businesses are calling on the government to simplify and liberalize the rules for employing foreign workers. Companies argue that current procedures are too slow and complex for real hiring needs.

The request focuses on cutting administrative steps, shortening approval timelines, and reducing duplicate documentation across agencies.

Employers say easier access to qualified foreign specialists would help close skill gaps and accelerate projects, especially in sectors with labor shortages.

At the same time, businesses emphasize that reforms should preserve transparent controls while making the process more predictable for investors and HR teams.

Industry groups expect that a more flexible system could improve competitiveness, support international partnerships, and ease pressure on local labor markets.
