New members of the Ukraine forum, introduce yourselves here - 2018

Thank you for your suggestion. I visited Odessa few times in the past. I like beaches sometimes. However, my body doesnt like hot weather. I get all kinds of skin problems in hot temperature. My body function better in cool or cold temperature. By the way, what kind of job can an old guy, 63 y/o, retiree with very little Russian language ability do in Odessa? I worked in IT but as I moved up in government service, I did more managing projects and supervising staff than actual hands on work. So my IT skill is now out of date. Besides, I am too old to move computers around and crawling under desks installing equipment.  Physical work days are over because I had a spine surgery. That makes lifting things impossible.  I can speak Korean fluently besides English.

Martin,
Are you doing some kind of work there?

hi there

for my self i teach English  and have several privet students, i speak a little Russian but my students are with me to learn English so i do not need to speak Russian or Ukrainian. If you cant stand hot weather then Odessa is not for you as we have 8 months on average wall to wall sun.

Me again
I just sore the last post. I have retired here, with my wife. We used to live in Odessa and moved just outside to a smaller town called Chernomorsk. We bought a new build apartment, which apart from main room floor , all is know finished. The wife has a very large house and a stack of land, but its too much to keep on top of so she is selling it. As i said in my last post i teach a little and do a little work from UK over the internet, as i am an electrical, and mechanical engineer and still find i get asked questions on how do you fix etc etc.

Hello, everyone.  I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about Ukraine as I have been coming for a while, though I suppose I am not as knowledgeable as a true expat who lives in Ukraine full time.  I am here to seek and give advice or help, or just to hang out and socialize.  I speak Russian and I am familiar with Russian and Ukrainian culture.  When I come to Ukraine, it will be nice to hook up with fellow westerners given a lot of expats may want to meet with other fellow westerners.

Hello guys! I'm Carlos from Brazil and I want to live in Ukraine 💛💙

I really enjoyed the people and the atmosphere in the cities I've been so far (Kyiv, Lviv and Odessa).

I decided to live in Kyiv (since July) but I don't have a Visa. I overstayed in the country (92 days) and when I left the country I had to pay a fee (1700 UAH).

Now I'm living in Italy but want to open a company (I'm an IT guy) and get the temporary residence in Ukraine. The officer at the border said that I have to stay away for at least 90 days to come back, unless I get a Visa.

I would like to know what are the options that I have to get this Visa to be back before this 90 days so I can start the process to open my company ( or any other way to be legally in the country).

Any advice will be appreciated. If you guys could recommend companies/people that I can trust to help me with this issue will be very nice too!

Looking forward to be back to Ukraine asap!

Thank you and have a wonderful new year)
