Temporary protection extended for Ukrainian nationals
9 Dec 22
BELGIUM
IMPACT — MEDIUM
The Belgian government recently extended temporary protection to Ukrainian nationals until April 2024.
Key Points:
- Ukrainian nationals living in Belgium can now extend their temporary protection until March 31, 2024, if they hold a residence card set to expire on or before March 4, 2023.
- Beginning Jan. 4, 2023, Ukrainian nationals must visit their local town hall to submit a request to receive the extension.
- Ukrainian nationals who do not submit a request to extend their status at their local town hall will not receive the temporary protection extension.
BAL Analysis: Under the directive, temporary protections will cover Ukrainian nationals who fled the war in Ukraine for an extended period of time. Employers and employees are reminded that actions taken as a result of the invasion of Ukraine may change with little or no notice.
