The Lithuanian government has extended temporary protection for people who left Ukraine due to the war until March 4, 2028. At the same time, a new condition has been introduced for some men liable for military service.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by<\/a><\/span> the Lithuanian broadcaster LRT.<\/p>\n

According to the government’s decision, temporary residence permits based on temporary protection will be issued or extended until March 4, 2028.<\/strong> Previously, they were valid until March 4, 2027.<\/p>\n

A separate requirement has been introduced for persons subject to military service in Ukraine. When applying for temporary protection, they will be required to provide confirmation of their military service.<\/p>\n

The Lithuanian Ministry of Internal Affairs explained that such confirmation may be a document confirming the legal crossing of the Ukrainian border during departure, a corresponding mark in the passport, or an official document confirming exemption from military service or its fulfillment.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the new rule will not apply<\/strong> to people who were granted temporary protection in any EU country before August 4, 2026 and who continuously maintain this status.<\/p>\n

An exception was also provided for those who had applied for temporary protection in Lithuania before August 4, but a decision on it had not yet been made at that time.<\/p>\n

According to the Lithuanian Migration Board, as of September 6, 52,052 people<\/strong> had valid residence permits based on temporary protection. The department receives approximately 30\u201340 new applications every day.<\/p>\n

Recall that earlier the European Union extended temporary protection for Ukrainians until March 4, 2028.<\/a> At the same time, a requirement was introduced for some new applicants to confirm their military service.<\/p>\n
