Extension of Temporary Protection for Ukrainians in the EU and How to Transition to Long-Term Residence?

No time to read

The European Council has approved the extension of temporary protection for Ukrainians in the EU until March 4, 2026, allowing Ukrainian citizens to continue living and working legally in EU countries.

However, many countries are already implementing mechanisms at the national level to transition from temporary protection to long-term residence permits (residence permits), providing Ukrainians with new opportunities for legal residency. A long-term residence permit is often the first step toward full integration and, in some countries, citizenship.

Several European countries have already announced upcoming changes for Ukrainians under temporary protection, offering options to transition to long-term residence.

How to transition from temporary protection to long-term residence in EU countries?

Similar initiatives are actively being discussed in other EU countries, including Portugal, Germany, and Sweden.

Legalization in the EU for Ukrainians through the transition from temporary protection to long-term residence offers stability and long-term integration prospects.

Key Conditions for Transitioning from Temporary Protection to Long-Term Residence in the EU

It’s important to understand that each EU country sets its own rules for transitioning from temporary protection to long-term residence based on national legislation. While the basic rights and conditions of temporary protection are established at the EU level, individual countries may add specific requirements and procedures that can vary. In general, the main conditions across most countries include:

  1. Residency in the country for a minimum established period under temporary protection — this period may differ from country to country.
  2. Stable income — such as official employment, entrepreneurial activity, or owning a business.
  3. Housing — either owning property or having long-term rental accommodation with a verified lease agreement.

These requirements serve as the foundation for transitioning from temporary protection to a residence permit, allowing Ukrainians to legalize their long-term stay in Europe.
