LRT reported the information.
This protection was initially in effect until March 2025. The government has extended it for an additional year, now lasting until March 4, 2026.
According to Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė, the decision will reduce the administrative burden on individuals and the workload of the Migration Department, as well as facilitate the replacement of residence permits when they expire.
Based on data from the Department of Migration, 30-40 new applications for residence permits are registered daily. Currently, more than 44,300 people have valid residence permits in Lithuania on the basis of temporary protection.
This mechanism provides Ukrainian refugees with collective protection and allows them to enjoy the right to residence, work, housing, medical care and education for children.
- In June of this year, the Council of the European Union extended temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees until March 4, 2026.
