Abstract

Ukrainian lands have always attracted interest from foreign investors as a means of production and investment. The tendency to increase such interest does not change for quite a long time. According to Articles 18-20 of the Land Code of Ukraine, each land plot, regardless of the form of ownership or use, has a specific purpose, depending on which the status of the land plot is determined as the object of civil rights. Extremely topical issue is the right of ownership of land to non-residents, both physical and legal persons. The purpose of the article is to analyze regulatory and legal regulation of the peculiarities of acquiring ownership of land plots by non-residents, identifying gaps in legislation.
