In connection with the war of Russia against Ukraine, Ukrainian citizens can apply for international protection in the EU. In addition to the well-known refugee status, another tool has become relevant - temporary protection.

It is reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

Temporary protection does not mean refugee status, but persons who have received temporary protection in the EU can apply for refugee status at any time.

The validity of temporary protection is one year, this period can be automatically extended for the next year, depending on the situation in Ukraine.

Rights of persons enjoying temporary protection:.

residence permit for a period of temporary protection (for 1 year renewable) access to work (requirement to wait 6 months as opposed to obtaining refugee status in this case) access to education. Children under 18 years of age have the right to study in educational institutions at the level of citizens of the host country Housing (settlement in the center or provision of accommodation) Access to social security Access to health care The right to relevant information on temporary protection The opportunity to obtain refugee status in the future The opportunity to return to.

The specific rights of an applicant for temporary protection are determined by the domestic law of a particular EU country. Therefore, in order to use them, you should apply for a residence permit to the authorities of the respective country dealing with issues of temporary protection.. There, the displaced Ukrainians should be given a document explaining in an understandable language their status and rights..

Persons eligible for temporary protection:.

1) citizens of Ukraine who were forced to leave Ukraine on or after February 24, 2022 as a result of the military invasion of Russian troops, 2) stateless persons and citizens of third countries other than Ukraine who enjoyed international protection or equivalent national protection in Ukraine before February 24, 2022.

" The issue of granting temporary protection or refugee status is the exclusive prerogative of the competent authorities of the host country..

It should be noted that the status of a refugee and the status of a person under temporary protection differ significantly (in terms of decision-making on granting status, freedom to choose a place of residence, opportunities for movement, amount of assistance, etc.)..

Given that each country implements these international statuses in its own legislation with certain differences, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends making decisions on obtaining a particular status only after receiving full information from the official bodies of your stay. Foreign diplomatic institutions of Ukraine publish the contact information of such bodies, as well as links to relevant primary sources (in particular, translated into Ukrainian) on the tripadvisor interactive map. mfa. gov. ua and pages of embassies/consulates on Facebook.
