Takeaways

• 🌍 Hypothetically, there is only one attempt to hold individuals living abroad accountable for not updating their information.
• 📋 Those who reside abroad and do not update their data are in a more privileged position compared to those in Ukraine.
• 🔍 Identification that a person is in Ukraine nullifies discussions about declarations in TCC databases.
• 🛡️ TCC has information about your registration in Ukraine and may not check border service databases to confirm your departure.
• 🧑‍⚖️ If TCC receives information that you are abroad and still issues a resolution, your lawyer can request proof of guilt and access case materials, likely leading to the resolution being overturned.
• 🛂 Leaving Ukraine outside official border points makes it harder for TCC to know about your departure, potentially leading to multiple accountability attempts.
• 💡 The only way to find out about a fine is through open enforcement proceedings on the DI website or the executive service website.
• 💳 If your card is blocked, you can either pay the fine for immediate unblocking or challenge it legally, with high chances of success.
• 👩‍⚖️ It's possible to pay the fine and then appeal the resolution to get your money back, but the process is not straightforward.
• 💻 Legal issues can be resolved remotely through electronic courts or by hiring a lawyer to represent you.

Q & A

What is the main concern addressed in the video script for people living abroad?

The main concern is about the potential penalties for those who have not updated their residency information in Ukraine and the possible consequences of not doing so.

What is the situation for Ukrainians living abroad who have not specified their foreign address?

The likelihood of being held responsible for not updating their information is minimal if they have specified a foreign address. However, if they haven't, there might be a single attempt to hold them responsible, especially if they legally exited Ukraine.

What happens if someone living abroad has their bank card blocked?

If a bank card is blocked, it indicates that an enforcement proceeding has been initiated against them. They have two options: pay the penalty for immediate unblocking or go through the appeal process to potentially save the penalty amount.

Is there a possibility to pay the penalty and then appeal the decision to get the money back?

Yes, theoretically, one can pay the penalty and then appeal the decision. However, getting the money back from the budget is not automatic and may require a formal application and possibly a court case.

How can someone living abroad find out if there is a penalty against them?

As of the current situation, they can only find out about an enforcement proceeding after a decision has been made, which will be reflected in the DI or on the website of the execution service.

What is the potential penalty for not updating residency information while living abroad?

The initial penalty is 17,000 Hryvnia, which doubles if not paid and then an additional 10% of the enforcement fee is added, resulting in approximately 38,000 Hryvnia.

Is there a possibility to resolve the issue of a blocked bank card without physically returning to Ukraine?

Yes, it is possible to resolve the issue remotely by either participating in court sessions online through the electronic court system or by hiring a lawyer to represent them.

What are the benefits of obtaining Moldovan citizenship for Ukrainians living abroad?

Obtaining Moldovan citizenship can be a quick and accessible option for those with Moldovan roots or ancestors born in certain regions. It avoids the need for a Romanian language exam and can be processed without personal presence in Moldova.

How long does it take to obtain Moldovan citizenship legally?

The process of obtaining Moldovan citizenship can take up to 6 months, which is faster compared to other countries like Romania where it may take 3 to 5 years.

What is the situation for seafarers who need to renew their passports while living abroad?

Seafarers can obtain a seafarer's passport in just one working day, provided they have a residence permit or citizenship in Moldova and mention this to their manager to get a discount.

Is there a possibility that penalties for not updating residency information will not be enforced for those living abroad?

Yes, there is a significant possibility that penalties may not be enforced due to the experimental nature of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine's decisions regarding citizens abroad.
