This work studies the transnational activities of Ukrainian immigrants in Spain. It examines three areas of transnational behaviour: travelling to the country of origin, the frequency of non-direct contact with the communities of origin and remittances. Our objective is to examine how gender, legal status and type of family unit (multilocal/non-multilocal) affect the frequency and extent of transnational activities. Most of the statistical data presented in this article come from the National Immigrant Survey (ENI-2007) conducted by the National Institute of Statistics (Spain). The study confirms that family ties play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining links between countries of origin and destination. It also reveals that the legal status of Ukrainian immigrants in Spain has a great impact on patterns of transnational behaviour. In this sense, it is evident that institutional factors must be included in analyses of migratory processes from a transnational perspective.10afamily10agender10airregular migrants10aSpain10atransnationalism10aUkrainian migration1 aHosnedlová, Renáta1 aStanek, Mikołaj  uhttp://ceemr.uw.edu.pl/sites/default/files/CEEMR_Vol_3_No_1_Hosnedlova_Stanek_Analysing_Selected_Transnational_Activities_among_Ukrainian_Immigrants_in_Spain.pdf
