How to Get a Tax Identification Number (TIN) for Foreigners in Ukraine

Sharing is caring!

As a foreigner in Ukraine, I need to get a tax identification number (TIN) if I want to open a bank account in Ukraine. My name is Natalia, I am a citizen of the Philippines and I am a permanent resident in Ukraine. My permanent residence permit was granted based on marriage to a citizen of Ukraine. In this post, I will share my experience in getting TIN in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Requirements to Get a Tax Identification Number in Ukraine

  1. Temporary or Permanent Residence Permit ID Card.
  2. Certificate of Registration of Residence or in Ukrainian, it is called “Довідка про реєстрацію місця проживання особи.”

Note: Both documents need to be photocopied.

Where to get the Tax Identification Number in Ukraine

My husband and I went to the nearest tax department office based on the address stated in my Certificate of Registration of Residence. In Ukrainian, a tax department’s office is called “Державна податкова инспекция.” We arrived at the office and there was a local receptionist who helped us print the service priority number based on our purpose of visit which was to secure a TIN. Our priority number was called and we were directed to enter a specific room number. In the room, a lady met us and gave us a form to fill in. In Ukrainian, the form is called “Форма № 1др” or “Облікова картка фізичної особи – платника податків.” I asked my husband to fill in the form for me. He wrote my name in Ukrainian and English language and all the rest were written in Ukrainian.

I gave the filled-in form back to the lady. She told us to come back after five working days.

My husband and I came back to the tax department’s office. As usual, the receptionist helped us get a service priority number to collect the TIN. Our priority number was called and we were directed to enter a specific room number. In the room, a lady greeted us and gave us a book to sign my name and signature. After that, she gave me a piece of paper that shows my Ukrainian Tax Identification Number and that’s it.
