Slovakia extends temporary protection for displaced persons from Ukraine until 4 March 2027

Temporary protection for displaced persons from Ukraine was automatically extended until 4 March 2027, in line with the Implementing Decision of the Council of the European Union. This extension is enabled by a Slovak government resolution, which was approved on 21 February 2025. Individuals can check the validity of their temporary protection status through the Ministry of the Interior's online portal.

After registering for temporary protection and submitting the application, applicants receive an A4 paper certificate which serves as a temporary residence document valid for up to 90 days, until a residence card is issued. If someone does not request the residence card during registration, for example if they do not yet have a delivery address, they may apply later. In that case, a new appointment must be booked through the Ministry of the Interior’s booking system.
