13 Days until I hit 90 without a visa - and I want to stay!

have you applied for residence yet?

in usa these rules are very strict !!!  if you are in kiev find a honest person who know the in and outs !!! do not go over the 90 day limit!!! it might mess up your future in UKRAINE

I have not applied for residency yet...

This is very serious, it is better or polskoy doehatdo Moldovan border, leave and rode to Ukraine.

The term for consideration of a visa application is 15 calendar days from the date of applying, however it can be extended to 30 calendar days if necessary. You can also apply for the express visa issuance that is up to 15 calendar days. The term for consideration of a visa application at the border checkpoints is 1 working day.

So you might consider an option of applying for a visa, say a tourism visa.

The Best solution in your case is to find a girl and Let her pretend as your girl friend in OVIR(Registration office)and they will extend your visa for 6 months in one week time.I know alot of people doing the same and got extension of visa without any problem.

What if I don't have a visa?  Just the red stamp from the Airport?

Your situation is similar to mine except i have 37 days left on my airport red stamp visa to expire, i'm also in the process of getting married so when i went to OVIR they told me whenever the marriage is finalized i need to take the marriage certificate and apply for a marriage visa (03/13 "D" visa)from any ukranian embassy or consulate, it will be good only for 45 days then return to the office to apply for 1 year extension.

Also by doing some reading online i found out you can have a business visa, someone suggested you can obtain an employment sponsor letter from any company and take it to any ukranian embassy/consulate, for instance in Poland and receive a 6 month/1 year visa, he also indicated that you can buy that letter online!! Not really sure how that works.
Hope this is helpful.
                  Good luck

What are the fastest and easiest steps to get a Ukrainian Residency / Visa to stay.

I have lived in Thailand, France, Japan, and and many other places. Arrived in October and I want to stay. 

I travel about every other weekend somewhere in EU and Asia for business, so it's difficult to give up my passport for more than about 10 days.

Any good ideas?

Thanks in advance for the response.
