Tips & best practices
5
- Submit at least 30 days before the planned job change — this is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT
- Do NOT start working at the new position before MoI confirms or the 30-day period passes
- If MoI does not respond within 30 days, you can start — silence = approval
- Available in 5 languages: English, Russian, Ukrainian, Mongolian, Vietnamese
- Keep your current job until the change is approved
Common mistakes to avoid
4
- Starting the new job before the 30-day waiting period
