Entry from Ukraine
Further help

Ukrainian and third-country nationals legally residing in Ukraine are granted temporary protection in Hungary.

Under the regulation, which enters into force from 24 February 2022 immediately, refugees from Ukraine are granted temporary protection under one section of the Asylum Act.

This applies to all Ukrainian citizens coming from the territory of Ukraine as well as to third-country nationals legally residing in Ukraine. Temporary protection is not the same as refugee status. Temporary protection can remain in force until 1 June, unless extended by government decree.

The National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing is a law enforcement body responsible for the entry and stay of foreign nationals in the territory of Hungary.
