How to extend the status of temporary protection?Montenegro has extended the temporary protection status for Ukrainians for another year until March 11, 2024. To obtain a new temporary protection document, Ukrainians should apply to the offices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Montenegro (MUP) at their current place of residence. Adults must apply in person. Their legal representatives can obtain a new document for children under 18 years of age. You need to apply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs within three weeks - from February 21 to March 10. Place of current residence means the community where you live as of the date of application (not the community where you received protection). The only exception is the Budva community. Reissue of the document should not take place in Budva, but in the city of Petrovac. Only persons with disabilities can apply to Budva with the assistance of the Red Cross of Budva. What documents will be needed to extend temporary protection?
A new temporary protection document is issued immediately on the spot. If you need help, volunteers will be on duty. |
