Temporary protection for those with UKR status extended until 30 June 2024
2024.03.25
The act amending the UKR Special Act provides for an extension, until 30 June 2024, of:
- the period of validity of all residence permits of holders of Ukrainian citizenship;
- the period during which it is possible for a person with UKR status to apply for a temporary residence permit to work, to obtain an EU Blue Card and to carry out economic activities;
- the period of suspension of the statutory deadlines obliging voivodeship governors to carry out the remaining residence proceedings.
A further extension of the temporary protection period to 4 March 2025 is envisaged.
For persons with Ukrainian citizenship, we recommend to submit residence applications in each case. This can secure their legal residence and free access to the labour market in Poland for 3 years, regardless of subsequent legislative changes.
