extend this period for up to one year. The bill stipulates that the State Migration Service must provide people who do not speak Ukrainian with an interpreter at no charge and must also handle the translation of documents. When reviewing applications, the State Migration Service must take all the necessary measures to collect information from the applicant’s birthplace, countries and places where the applicant previously resided, and countries that the applicant’s family members are citizens of. While the application is being considered, the applicant is issued a temporary certificate confirming that the applicant can stay in Ukraine legally. After consideration, the State Migration Service may adopt a decision refusing to recognize the applicant as a stateless person, but the applicant may appeal this decision in court. Moreover, the bill stipulates that applicants do not have to pay any court fees or advance payments for the execution of judgments concerning an appeal to a State Migration Service decision to recognize a person as stateless. This simplifies access to the appeals procedure for this vulnerable category of people. The bill also specifies that stateless people who are temporarily or permanently residing in Ukraine but who do not have travel documents may be issued a stateless person certificate for travel abroad. This realizes the right to freedom of movement for stateless persons. Finally, the bill also envisages the right to free follow-up legal assistance for applicants, as well as amendments to Law of Ukraine “On Employment of the Population” that would provide stateless persons with the opportunity to exercise their rights to labor and to an adequate standard of living. 25
