Moving to Dnipropetrovsk
In its Soviet era past, Dnipropetrovsk was a closed city. This was due to the sensitive nature of the arms, nuclear and aerospace industries in the area. Now the city has opened up and there are many more opportunities for expats moving to Dnipropetrovsk. A work permit is still required for most positions, but often not if you are employed by a foreign company and based in their representative office in the city. The city is served by Dnipropetrovsk International Airport, which has good daily connections to many European and Middle Eastern cities. To ease your transition into expat life in Dnipropetrovsk, InterNations can help you to make connections with other expatriates in the city and gain good advice and tips. InterNations own Expat Magazine, meanwhile, has plenty of information and guidance to help you in your expatriate life.
