New rules for Ukrainians in Europe, which has changed recently

Most Ukrainians no longer wait for a war in a safe Europe. Recently, the flow of Ukrainian citizens to the country is much greater than those who cross-country. All this is due to the new rules of entry of Ukrainians.

Is it true that Ukrainians are not cross-border And what has changed recently, these questions will be answered today by the editorial board. "Site".

Rules of entry of Ukrainians

Since February 24, when the invaders invaded Ukraine, Europe has not only opened its borders, but also allowed Ukrainian refugees to move freely. Poland, Germany and some other countries initially accepted all Ukrainians in a row, and now they are tightening the requirements.

“Go back to Ukraine and never get into the EU again!” those who left for Poland, and not only after February 24, sigh bitterly. Ukrainians complain that they are not allowed to cross the Polish border because their stay there exceeded 90 days.



Many have fled to Europe with what they could, and now they want to return to visit their relatives, see what is left of their homes, take a cat, take things... Everyone has their own needs. There's actually a lot of pain in that.

According to migration services, now more than 120,000 residents have returned to Ukraine. However, not everyone wants to stay in Ukraine while the country hears the sound of alarming sirens and the war is underway. Many people cannot return to the EU again.

Lawyers who help Ukrainians in Poland receive dozens of appeals every day: “Polish border guards do not let those who have exhausted visa-free 90 days.” That is how much has passed since the war for those refugees who left the country in the first wave.



In principle, these rules are not particularly new. Those who have traveled before, for example, to Poland or Germany, know that visa-free travel is possible. country no more than 90 days. And to enter again, you need to open a visa or wait in your home country for 90 days, and only then you can go again without a visa for 90 days. As for the visa, it is now done in Lviv, and in 1 day.

There are those who are outraged by this rule. But we should be grateful to Europe, and especially to neighbours like Poland, for helping. By the way, Poland sheltered the most Ukrainians (about 3 million), providing them with temporary protection not for 90 days, but for 18 months.



About how the Poles helped the Ukrainians, you can write separately. There is not enough material for one article! People gave their apartments, gave food, gave clothes and toys. Supported like family. I know this from my friends firsthand!

18 months in the country, not 90 days. But that’s not enough to drive back and forth. In this case, when Poland passes as a transit country, this does not apply. The EU has its own rules and regulations, according to which it allows Ukrainians to travel, in particular, for some time home.



For example, in Belgium, Ukrainians are issued a card “A”, which confirms the person and gives a citizen of another country the right to live and work for a year. In fact, the Ukrainian at this time becomes a resident of Belgium, and if you show this card at the border along with the passport of Ukraine, the person will pass. However, if he was in Ukraine not longer than 27 days. That's the Belgian rule.

Ukrainians who have found asylum in Poland believe that such rules can be introduced there. Namely, registered refugees will be able to ignore the requirements of visa-free travel. However, the position Polish authorities It may not be the same. So that people who are hiding from war do not travel to a country they consider unsafe.



Rules are rules, and they must be followed.

From 1 June, a number of EU countries will change the rules of use. public transport. Countries such as Poland, Switzerland, Germany, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic no longer provide Ukrainians with free travel. However, the price for residents of Ukraine will be preferential.



Psychics have been talking about the food crisis lately. I also propose to find out whether there will be a global famine due to war. Ukraine accounts for 10% of world wheat supplies and 15% of corn!



I want to say that war reveals in people both the best and the worst qualities. Let us remain human in all situations, we should not judge others. Thank you very much, especially those who helped in a difficult time!

What do you say about the new rules? entry of Ukrainians EU countries. Do you agree with them or not?
