Though temporary protection was extended to March 2028, preparations are also being made at the EU level to eventually phase it out. As the name suggests, this protection is a temporary measure and is intended to end when circumstances in Ukraine allow. In the summer of 2025, the Council approved exit recommendations as part of preparations to phase out temporary protection. No class of residence permit specifically for Ukrainians is being prepared at the EU level. More permanent stays in the EU will require applying for existing types of national residence permits, such as permits based on work, study or family ties. A total of about 7,500 Ukrainians have already done so in Finland. A total of 4,300 Ukrainians have been granted a residence permit on the basis of work and 2,800 on the basis of family ties.
