Citizens of Ukraine, foreigners and stateless persons may enter, stay, reside, carry out work and enter the border zone with the permission of the relevant body of the State Border Guard Service, which directly performs the task of ensuring the inviolability of the state border in a certain area of responsibility, if there are documents proving their identity. Such a permit is issued by the border guard body of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
