Hungary: protection conditions for those liable for military service

Hungary’s immigration authority (OIF) states that the conditions for recognition as a temporary-protection beneficiary (menedékes) in Hungary have not changed: Ukrainian citizens liable for military service can also receive temporary protection in Hungary under the rules known since 2022.

Before applying

When deciding a Hungarian application, the asylum authority checks whether the applicant has obtained protection in another EU Member State and, if so, rejects the Hungarian application.
