The Ukrainian government has suspended consular services for military-age male nationals living abroad.
Key Points:
Additional Information: According to the new mobilization bill, all military-age men will be required to obtain updated military registration papers. The government stated the goal is to modernize the obsolete mobilization legislation and update their systems with the latest information on all military-age men and their status. Once the data confirmation system is updated, individuals will likely have the option to register online without visiting military offices in Ukraine. Individuals who hold temporary protection status should be able to legally remain in their host country and maintain their status with an expired passport.
BAL Analysis: The new mobilization bill impacts Ukrainian nationals and will impact their status abroad. The practical implications of the law are still not fully determined, and the government says that they are working on implementing a new system that will allow for nationals to confirm their data digitally without the need to return to the country. BAL will continue following the situation and will provide updates as information becomes available.
