On March 15, registration for the extension of temporary protection for Ukrainians ended in the Czech Republic. Those who did not register online will lose their status after March 31, 2024. However, although it is possible to re-apply for protection, this does not mean its automatic renewal. This is stated on the website of the Czech Ministry of the Interior for Ukrainian refugees, Naši Ukrajinci.

Some Ukrainians in the Czech Republic may lose temporary protection: details

It is noted that if a person does not extend temporary protection during online registration, it will be valid only until March 31, 2024. After the expiration date, you can re-apply for it at one of the branches of the Regional Centers for Assistance to Ukraine (KACPU).

However, it is worth remembering that the grounds for granting temporary protection will be re-examined, just as in the case of the first application. 

Important! Obtaining temporary protection in the past does not guarantee its re-granting.  Also, the granting of temporary protection does not mean that you will receive state aid, such as health insurance, again.

Please note! To ensure a safe stay abroad, you should take care of reliable health insurance in advance, which will not only help you maintain your health, but also protect you from unforeseen expenses. You can take out an insurance policy that covers emergency medical care in case of illnesses and accidents, as well as inpatient and outpatient care around the world on the Visit Ukraine website. In addition, on our portal, you can immediately apply for car insurance - the Green Card, which is mandatory in 50 countries, including the EU.

How to apply for temporary protection in the Czech Republic?
