Temporary protection in Germany
quote after we review the task
Temporary protection in Germany for Ukrainians has been extended: the EU prolonged protection to 04.03.2028 (Decision 2026/1912), and on 30.09.2026 Germany amended its transitional ordinance — people arriving from Ukraine by 04.12.2027 may stay 90 days without a residence permit and apply under Section 24 AufenthG, and the ordinance runs to 04.03.2028. Existing Section 24 cards valid on 01.02.2026 were extended automatically to 04.03.2027. For new applicants the EU added a condition to prove compliance with Ukrainian military registration. Checked against the ordinances on 09.10.2026.
What we do
- Check your status and dates: card, automatic extension, new application.
- Explain the conditions for new applicants, including military registration.
- Choose a long-term ground: Blue Card, skilled worker, business, family.
- Prepare the switch from Section 24 to a new permit at the foreigners' authority.
- Map the route to permanent residence and citizenship.
What we need from you
- Passport and Section 24 permit or proof of entry.
- Documents on education and experience, an employment contract if you have one.
- Family documents: marriage and children's birth certificates.
- For a first application, proof of military registration (for example from Reserve+) where the requirement applies to you.
Key dates 2026–2028
| Event | Date | Act |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary protection in the EU | to 04.03.2028 | Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/1912 of 30.07.2026 |
| 90-day permit-free stay for arrivals from Ukraine | for entry by 04.12.2027 | Section 2 UkraineAufenthÜV as amended on 30.09.2026 (BGBl. 2026 I No. 288) |
| German transitional ordinance in force | to 04.03.2028 | Section 4(2) UkraineAufenthÜV |
| Automatic extension of Section 24 cards valid on 01.02.2026 | to 04.03.2027 | Section 2 UkraineAufenthFGV |
As of 09.10.2026, no ordinance extending existing cards automatically to 2028 has been published. Validity after 04.03.2027 will depend on such an act or on an individual extension at the foreigners' authority.
What Section 24 gives and its limits
- A permit for the duration of protection set by the EU decision (Section 24(1)).
- Distribution among the federal states: the Federal Office for Migration allocates people to states, and residence follows the allocation decision (Section 24(3)–(5)).
- New applicants after Decision 2026/1912 prove compliance with Ukrainian military registration duties. People who already had protection on 30.07.2026 and keep it in the same country are not affected.
- Naturalisation is unavailable on a Section 24 permit, and so is EU long-term resident status.
Switching from Section 24 to a long-term permit
The transitional ordinance expressly allows people who arrived from Ukraine to obtain the required permit inside Germany (Section 3 UkraineAufenthÜV). This matters because Ukrainian citizens are not on the Section 41 AufenthV list and would otherwise apply for a D visa from abroad.
| Switch to | Main conditions | Time to permanent residence |
|---|---|---|
| EU Blue Card | Degree, contract paying at least €50,700 gross a year, or €45,934.20 for shortage occupations and recent graduates (2026) | 27 months, 21 months with B1 |
| Skilled worker | Recognised qualification, contract in the field | 3 years |
| Self-employment, freelancing | Section 21: business plan and financing; Section 21(5): professional licence | 3 years (entrepreneurs), 5 years (freelancers) |
| Staying on Section 24 | Duration depends on EU and German decisions | Possible under Section 26(4) after 5 years at the authority's discretion |
The Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) cannot be obtained from Section 24 inside Germany: in the country it is issued only to holders of study or employment permits (Section 20a(4)).
