Temporary protection and access to education

If you were permanently residing in Ukraine, and you left the country to escape war from 24 February 2022 on, you may be entitled to temporary protection in any EU country.

Temporary protection will last for at least one year. This may be extended depending on the situation in Ukraine.

Rights under the Temporary Protection Directive include a residence permit, access to the labour market and housing, medical assistance, and access to education for children.
