In 2026, the rules for foreigners in Ukraine have changed: business registration has been simplified, it is now possible to open companies remotely, and the tax conditions for IT and startups remain among the most attractive in Eastern Europe. Now, foreign investors and non-residents can work in Ukraine more flexibly—without unnecessary bureaucracy and with the ability to minimize the tax burden on their team.
BuhalteriO provides comprehensive legal services for foreigners and owners of foreign companies, helping to make staying and doing business in Ukraine as simple, legal, and profitable as possible. We work online, providing consultations and full support without being tied to a location: Zoom meetings, expert analysis, and documents are available on your phone.
What We Do for Foreigners and Non-Residents
At BuhalteriO, we handle all key stages: from legalizing your stay to registering a company or sole proprietorship (known as FOP) for foreigners. We help obtain temporary and permanent residence permits, register a place of residence, and acquire a tax identification number (TIN).
For businesses, we register LLCs and FOPs for foreigners, and set up the tax system for IT companies and startups, taking into account the low tax rates in the technology and online services sectors. We also work with foreign investments, manage currency transactions, and handle document legalization.

- Favorable tax conditions for IT and online projects;
- The possibility of opening a company remotely, online;
- Low cost of doing business compared to the EU;

What We Do for Foreigners and Businesses in Ukraine 2026
Today, Ukraine is becoming an entry point for many foreign entrepreneurs. We see a flow of clients from Israel who are involved in software development and are building developer teams in Ukraine. For such clients, BuhalteriO helps register a company, obtain a temporary or permanent residence permit, set up tax status, prepare documents for the bank, and manage currency transactions.
The restaurant business is of no less interest. During the war in Ukraine, the demand for food delivery and fast-food services has grown significantly. Foreign investors see potential in this and are ready to invest in creating new formats. We assist such companies with legal registration, obtaining necessary permits, and structuring the tax system for their business.
We are often approached by entrepreneurs from Germany and other EU countries who are engaged in importing equipment, microchips, and innovative products, including in the fields of biotechnology and biohacking. For such companies, it is important to have a transparent import scheme, clear accounting, and full compliance with Ukrainian and international legislation.
The special legal regime “Diia.City” is also gaining popularity among foreigners. It is ideal for companies that want to operate transparently, officially hire employees, and pay taxes according to clear rules. For foreign IT companies, this is an understandable model that replaces the common Ukrainian practice of registering employees as FOPs. We help register businesses within “Diia.City,” set up contracts, and structure the tax system.
At BuhalteriO, we don’t just process documents—we help foreign investors and non-resident companies integrate into the Ukrainian business market and set up work processes so that every stage complies with the law and generates profit.
