You are not entitled to temporary protection if:

• You have a temporary Ukrainian residence permit (e.g. for work or study) and are not registered with a Dutch municipality before 19 July 2022.

• You have insufficient documents to prove that you are covered by Temporary Protection.

• You filed an application for (inter)national protection in Ukraine, which has not yet been decided on.

• You were working in an EU country on 22 February 2022, on the basis of a temporary (work) visa.

• You took advantage of the

  

  DT&V remigration scheme
  .

• You yourself have left the Netherlands for a country outside the EU. TPD is not a travel document. The customs of a non-EU country cannot let you go because you do not have a travel document.

If you are not covered by the Temporary Protection Directive, you can explore different options for staying in the Netherlands. You can investigate the following options:

1. Apply for asylum

2. Apply for a regular residence permit

3. Return to your country of origin

You can use the remigration support provided by the Repatriation & Departure Service (DT&V)

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) helps you return to your country of origin. The IOM provides both information and advice.

4. Living in the Netherlands without a residence permit

You can use information on the following page. This information has not been translated into Ukrainian and Russian, but has been translated into English, Arabic, Dari, Farsi, French, Somali, Tigrinya and Turkish.

If it is not clear whether you are entitled to Temporary Protection, the municipality will contact the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) to arrange an appointment. The IND will then meet with you. On the basis of your documents, the IND will determine whether or not you will receive protection in the Netherlands. It is therefore important to bring all your documents with you to your appointment with the IND.

If you had your temporary Ukrainian residence permit and left the Netherlands, you may no longer be entitled to

TPD

You no longer fall under the TPD if you

• Have taken advantage of the

  

  DT&V remigration scheme
  because you will have signed a form waiving current residency rights.

• Left the Netherlands yourself for a country outside the EU. Your right to TPD is not a travel document. The customs of a non-EU country may not be able to let you go because you do not have a travel document.
