TEMPORARY DEPARTURE OF IT SPECIALISTS FROM UKRAINE ABROAD MAY BE ALLOWED BY AUGUST

The issue of permits for temporary travel of IT specialists abroad will be resolved during June-July, predicts Oleksandr Fediyenko, Deputy Head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Digital Transformation (People’s Deputy from the Servant of the People faction).
“I think that all this will be done within the framework of the adopted law on Dia.City. Most likely, we will talk about those enterprises that meet the criteria of Dia.City. This is my forecast. Most likely, this will be done throughout this and the next month, when summarizing work will be done to develop appropriate mechanisms for booking the departure of the relevant employees of the relevant specialized companies,” he said in a commentary to the Kyiv TV channel.
Fedienko noted that in the future, companies that meet pre-defined criteria will submit documents and argue the need to travel abroad for their chosen employees.
The MP also stressed that this is done in order to allow IT companies to fully work with foreign clients and fill the Ukrainian budget.
