Temporary protection status for displaced persons from Ukraine extended until 4 March 2024

Displaced persons from Ukraine who have temporary protection in the Republic of Croatia have had their temporary protection automatically extended until 4 March 2024

Displaced persons from Ukraine under temporary protection in the Republic of Croatia should personally come to the police administration/police station according to their place of residence in order to certify the extension of the validity of the identity card of a foreigner under temporary protection, from 15 February 2023 to 30 April 2023.

The extension will be recorded in the existing card of the foreigner under temporary protection, so it is not necessary to submit a request for the extension of temporary protection.

Based on the recorded number of persons displaced from Ukraine with the status of foreigners under temporary protection, each police administration/station will organize the extension of cards in its territory. Police administrations/police stations on whose territory collective housing is organized will, in agreement with the Directorate of Civil Protection, organize the authentication of identity cards for displaced persons housed in collective housing.

Displaced persons staying in collective housing will be informed about the organization and extension dates within the collective housing. Persons who apply for an extension of their card after 30 April 2023 will not lose their temporary protection status and will continue to have the rights and obligations arising from the status.
