Appeal a Refusal of Ukrainian Citizenship

A refusal of Ukrainian citizenship may occur under the country’s legislation if the application for acquisition of citizenship does not meet the requirements, or if it emerges that citizenship acquired earlier was obtained on the basis of false facts. When the application is examined, the territorial units of the State Migration Service of Ukraine or the embassy/consulate of Ukraine verify that the submitted documents comply with the requirements of the law and establish the facts connected with Ukrainian citizenship.
If deficiencies are found or the facts are not confirmed, the territorial unit of the SMS or the MFA returns the documents to the applicant for their rectification. If the applicant does not rectify the deficiencies and does not resubmit the documents within two months, the proceedings on the application may be terminated.
If it is established that the submitted documents do not confirm the person’s entitlement to Ukrainian citizenship, the territorial unit of the SMS or the MFA takes a reasoned decision to refuse entitlement to Ukrainian citizenship.
