By decision of the Bulgarian government, all fugitives from the hostilities in Ukraine, who entered the territory of Bulgaria on February 24, receive temporary protection, according to RMS №144 of 10.03.2022 for granting temporary protection to displaced persons from Ukraine and amending of the National Action Plan for Temporary Protection in the Republic of Bulgaria.
The control for entering the Bulgarian territory at all border checkpoints has been eased, as additional capacity has been provided for meeting 24/7.
All Ukrainians who left the country after 24.02.22 have the right to temporary protection, and the persons must register by 31.03.22 in order to be issued a registration document (laminated card) with a photo and QR code. The registration takes place at the border checkpoint.
The necessary conditions are provided for information, meeting urgent needs, assistance for adults and children, security, mobile communication, safe transport area and referral to accommodation.
