The government extends the stay of displaced Ukrainians in Denmark
The special law for Ukrainian refugees entered into force in March 2022. On Friday, the special law will be extended until 2027.
The government decided on Friday to extend the special law for Ukrainians who have fled during the war in Ukraine and are residing in Denmark.
The special law is extended by one year and is now valid until March 2027.
This is stated by the Ministry of Immigration and Integration in a press release.
The special law allows Ukrainian refugees to work, go to school and use healthcare in Denmark. The law was passed in March 2022.
The extension comes after the EU also decided to extend similar rules on temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees until March 2027.
Due to Danish legal conditions, Denmark is not subject to EU regulations in this area.
“It is crucial that we European countries stand together to extend the basis for residence for those who unfortunately remain displaced due to Putin’s insane invasion of Ukraine,” says Minister of Immigration and Integration Kaare Dybvad Bek (S) in the press release.
