Abstract: A sufficient condition is obtained for the weak convergence of additive functionals defined on a sequence of Markov chains $ X_n$ approaching a Markov process $ X$. The condition is expressed in terms of transient probabilities of the chains $ X_n$. An application of the main result is given for the convergence on the Cantor set of local-time type functionals of random walks approaching an $ \alpha$-stable process with index $ \alpha\leq1$.
