Serbia Extends Temporary Protection for Ukrainian Citizens Until March of the Following Year

Published: 10.06.2026

Temporary protection for Ukrainian citizens is available in Serbia, with the current extension running until March of the following year. According to the source, applications are assessed individually and processed more slowly than in some neighboring countries.

For Ukrainian citizens, this preserves a route to legal stay but does not mean that protection is granted automatically, since applications are assessed individually. In the longer term, applicants should allow for slower processing and detailed review when planning their stay. The development is most relevant to Ukrainians seeking temporary protection rather than tourist entry or a business residence permit. According to the source, it deserves attention from anyone planning to rely on this status through March of the following year.
